Trump’s Board of Peace has set out a phased roadmap to implement its Gaza peace plan, centred on the disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups. The proposal matters because it links an end to Hamas’s military role with Israeli withdrawal, new Palestinian administration and Gaza’s reconstruction, but its success depends on both sides accepting and carrying out the terms.

Under the plan, Hamas would hand over heavy weapons and allow tunnels and military infrastructure to be dismantled, while civilian and security responsibilities would transfer to a Palestinian technocratic body and police force supported by an international stabilisation force. The roadmap envisages independently verified, reciprocal steps before moving to a second phase; reports indicate the initial weapons process would begin within 14 days of approval, though the wider timetable and political backing remain uncertain.
