Hamas agrees to surrender weapons and transfer Gaza authority
Nikolay Mladenov, the High Representative for Gaza of the Gaza Peace Board, announced to the UN Security Council that Hamas and other armed factions in Gaza have agreed, for the first time, to surrender their weapons and transfer full civilian and security authority to a UN-recognized transitional administration.
The US-backed 15-point roadmap involves the complete disarmament of all weapon categories in Gaza, including heavy weaponry, production facilities, tunnels, and small arms. The process will be monitored by International Stabilization Forces led by US Major General Jasper Jeffers. Under the plan, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), composed of independent Palestinian professionals, will become the sole entity authorized to control weapons.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the plan in its current form, maintaining that Hamas must be fully disarmed before any Israeli military withdrawal occurs. The roadmap stipulates that Israeli withdrawal will be phased and contingent upon the verified completion of disarmament obligations rather than a fixed timeline. Mladenov noted that while the agreement is a historic breakthrough, implementation faces risks from continued military strikes and the need for strict verification of all commitments.
