Former President Trump announced that a peace board established under his administration has developed a plan for the disarmament of Gaza. The board aims to facilitate a long-term ceasefire and security arrangement in the region.
Trump stated the initiative would require all militant groups in Gaza to surrender their weapons as a condition for reconstruction aid. He framed the plan as a necessary step toward lasting stability.
There was no immediate comment from Hamas or Israel following the announcement. Officials provided few details on the specific mechanisms or timeline for the disarmament process.
The peace board was formed during Trump’s presidency to mediate Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. Its current proposal represents a continuation of that diplomatic framework.
Critics have questioned the plan’s feasibility without buy-in from both Hamas and the Israeli government. Past disarmament efforts have failed due to mistrust and political divisions.
Supporters argue that linking Gaza’s rebuilding to disarmament could create strong incentives for compliance. The board reportedly briefed regional allies on the proposal.
Details of the plan remain scarce, leaving key questions about enforcement and verification unanswered. Further developments are expected as stakeholders review the proposal.
