President Donald Trump announced on Thursday a historic agreement to achieve the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza, which he presented as a decisive step towards ending violence and establishing a different political and security structure in the Palestinian enclave.
According to Trump, the diplomatic breakthrough was achieved by the Peace Board, with the participation of international mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. The president highlighted the role of these countries and stated that the agreement opens the door to a profound transformation of Gaza, both in terms of security and governance.
Trump maintained that the central objective is to prevent Gaza from being used as a platform for terrorist attacks against Israel. "This is a monumental step towards lasting peace and security," he stated while announcing the agreement in a post on Truth Social.

One of the main elements of the pact is the creation of a new Palestinian government to administer Gaza, which would work closely with the Peace Board to address the needs of the population. The proposal aims to replace the Hamas-dominated scenario with a political structure capable of ensuring security and facilitating the reconstruction of the territory.
For the Trump administration, the disarmament of Hamas is a fundamental condition for achieving lasting peace. For years, attempts to achieve stability in Gaza have been hindered by the presence of armed organizations and by Hamas's ability to use the territory as a base to launch attacks against Israel.
The president explained that the implementation of the agreement will be carried out in phases, linking the progress of disarmament with a gradual modification of the Israeli military presence. As the delivery of weapons is completed and armed structures are dismantled, Israeli forces will withdraw from certain areas.

At the same time, an International Stabilization Force will collaborate with a new Palestinian police force to take responsibility for security in Gaza. The goal, according to Trump, is to ensure that the territory is safe for both its inhabitants and neighboring countries.
The proposal represents a significant change from the scenario following Hamas's attacks on Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza. Trump presented the agreement as an opportunity to move towards a model in which security ceases to depend on terrorist groups and is placed in the hands of new internationally-backed Palestinian institutions.
The president acknowledged that there is still much work to be done before completing the process, but emphasized the commitment of the mediators who participated in the negotiations. Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey played a fundamental role in facilitating the understanding.

From the perspective of the White House, the agreement also strengthens Trump's position as a proponent of a diplomatic solution that combines disarmament, security for Israel, and a new Palestinian government. The strategy seeks to prevent Gaza from becoming a base for terrorist attacks again while simultaneously creating the conditions for Palestinians to move towards a more stable administration.
If the agreement is successfully implemented as announced, the disarmament of Hamas and the subsequent Israeli withdrawal could become the first steps of a new phase for Gaza, with greater international involvement and a security structure aimed at preventing the resurgence of armed groups.
