Hamas Agrees to Complete Disarmament Under Historic Gaza Agreement: Trump
A significant diplomatic breakthrough has been reached in the Middle East, as President Donald Trump announced that Hamas will complete its disarmament under an agreement brokered by the Board of Peace alongside mediators Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.
The historic agreement marks a major milestone in implementing Trump’s 20-Point Plan, aimed at ending the war in Gaza by demilitarizing Hamas and securing the release of hostages. The plan was introduced last year with the goal of transforming the conflict into a lasting peace.
Under the multi-phased disarmament agreement, Gaza will transition to a new Palestinian government with the support of the Board of Peace and will no longer be used as a base for terror attacks. A new police force has also been established in Gaza, aimed at keeping the region safe for its residents and neighbors.
The agreement represents a significant shift towards peace, following a deadly assault on southern Israel from the Gaza Strip by Hamas militants on October 7, 2023. The attack resulted in widespread destruction and a humanitarian crisis, with hostages kept in brutal captivity.
Israeli forces will also withdraw from the region as the disarmament process moves forward through structured phases. Trump praised the progress his administration has accomplished since the conflict began, stating that “one year ago there was a violent raging war, humanitarian crisis and hostages kept in brutal captivity.”
The threat of Hamas-led militants rebuilding their military capabilities is being taken seriously by world leaders, with Trump warning that the organization will not be allowed to rebuild. The agreement marks a significant step towards ensuring the region remains safe for its residents and neighbors.
As part of the disarmament process, Gaza’s borders will also be closed temporarily to prevent any potential terrorist activity. This move aims to demonstrate the international community’s commitment to maintaining peace in the region.
The historic agreement has been welcomed by many, including Israeli officials who have expressed relief that Hamas is taking steps towards disarmament. However, some Palestinian groups have criticized the agreement, citing concerns about its impact on their rights and freedoms.
Despite these concerns, the agreement marks a significant development in efforts to bring an end to the conflict in Gaza. As Trump noted, “this historic breakthrough will pave the way for a new Palestinian government that serves its people.”
The future of the region remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: this agreement represents a major step towards peace and security.
