President Donald Trump has announced a "historic" agreement between his Board of Peace and Hamas, in which Hamas commits to complete disarmament and relinquishes governing control of Gaza. The deal, a major component of Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan, aims to pave the way for Gaza’s reconstruction after widespread wartime destruction. A new technocratic body, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), will take civil and security control, replacing Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. The agreement includes a demilitarization timeline of 200–250 days, overseen by an international stabilization force that will assist with police training, weapons collection, and transitional security between Palestinian and Israeli areas. Despite confirmation from a Hamas official, questions persist over the deal’s implementation. The agreement was brokered with mediation and pressure from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, and the Trump administration coordinated closely with Israel.
