President Donald Trump announced that the Gaza Peace Council reached a deal to disarm Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. As the disarmament proceeds, Israeli forces will withdraw, with an International Stability Force and a new Palestinian police force ensuring security. The announcement came via Trump’s social media post on Friday.
The Disarmament Agreement
Trump said the Gaza Peace Council secured a deal for Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza to fully surrender their weapons. The president described the agreement as historic in a social media statement. No timeline for the disarmament process was provided, but Trump indicated that Israeli forces would withdraw as it is completed.
Security Arrangements
An International Stability Force, operating alongside a newly created Palestinian police force, will take over security responsibilities for Gazans and neighboring countries. Trump stated the new forces would ensure safety once the disarmament is done. The transition of security control remains a central element of the deal.
What's Next
The disarmament timeline and monitoring mechanisms have yet to be detailed. It remains unclear whether the agreement will hold amid past ceasefire failures in the region.
