President Donald Trump announced a new agreement requiring the complete disarmament of Hamas, followed by the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, according to a statement published on Truth Social on July 31. The arrangement was brokered by Trump’s “Board of Peace,” according to the U.S. president.
The Terms of the Board of Peace Agreement
The deal establishes a phased process aimed at shifting governance in the territory. According to Trump, the plan will transition administrative control of Gaza to new Palestinian authorities once disarmament concludes. The U.S. president stated on Truth Social that the framework ensures Israel receives security by eliminating Gaza’s capacity to serve as a base for terror attacks.
Trump credited mediation efforts to Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, while also thanking his team for facilitating the breakthrough. The disarmament requirement forms a core component of the broader “20-punktsplanen for fred,” which laid the groundwork for the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, according to the official statement.
