President Donald Trump announced a peace plan on July 31 [1] that requires Hamas to disarm in the Gaza Strip [2].
The agreement represents a significant attempt to end the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict by establishing a new Palestinian governing authority. Success depends on whether both warring parties will adhere to the stringent requirements of the proposal.
The plan consists of 15 points [1]. Under the terms, Israel must end its attacks and withdraw its forces from the territory [1]. In exchange, Hamas is required to give up its weapons, and allow for the creation of a new Palestinian government [1], [3].
Trump said the "Board of Peace has reached an agreement for Hamas to disarm in Gaza" [2]. The Board of Peace served as the mediating entity to facilitate the terms of the disarmament and withdrawal [2].
While the U.S. administration has presented the deal, the willingness of the involved parties to comply remains uncertain. An unnamed U.S. official said that if Israel does not adhere to the plan, Trump would be "very disappointed" [2].
Observers note that the implementation of the deal depends on Israel first meeting its specific obligations under the framework [3]. The transition of power in Gaza would require a total disarmament of Hamas militants to ensure the stability of the proposed new government [1], [2].
“Board of Peace has reached an agreement for Hamas to disarm in Gaza.”
This proposal shifts the diplomatic focus toward a total disarmament of Hamas as a prerequisite for Israeli withdrawal. By tying the cessation of hostilities to the complete removal of Hamas's military capabilities and the installation of a new government, the plan seeks a permanent structural change in Gaza's governance rather than a temporary ceasefire.
