Donald Trump declares historic Gaza disarmament deal with Hamas FAST-MOVING
On July 31 2026 US President Donald Trump announced that the Board of Peace had reached a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. The deal, described by Trump as a “monumental step toward lasting peace and security,” was posted on his Truth Social account.
The agreement outlines a phased weapons‑hand‑over process overseen by the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) and an International Verification Committee. It also calls for the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza once disarmament milestones are met, and for an International Stabilization Force to cooperate with a new Palestinian police force to maintain security in the enclave.
Egypt, Qatar and Turkey were thanked for mediating the pact. Hamas has said it will not implement any disarmament steps until Israel fully withdraws, while Israeli officials have not publicly confirmed or rejected the proposal, with some sources describing Israeli skepticism.
