The essentials
US-brokered ceasefire pairs Hamas disarmament with Israeli phased withdrawal and international oversight.
Trump has announced a US-brokered ceasefire agreement with Hamas that includes a structured disarmament plan for Gaza. Hamas has agreed to begin disarming as part of the framework, with a disarmament process spanning 200-350 days for weapons surrender.
Hamas police weapons will be transferred to a Palestinian technocratic committee, establishing centralized control over armaments. An International Stabilization Force will collaborate with a reformed Palestinian police force to implement security arrangements and oversee weapons collection. Israel will conduct a phased withdrawal from Gaza linked to the disarmament process, coordinating military drawdown with weapons collection progress.
The Trump Board of Peace coalition, comprising 28 countries, will provide multilateral oversight of implementation. The framework represents a structural transition from armed faction control to centralized Palestinian authority with international coordination. Hamas has already dissolved its Gaza government, formalizing the governance transition that accompanies disarmament provisions.
