Trump says 'Board of Peace' reaches Gaza disarmament deal
Reuters, Jul 30, 2026

July 30 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday his so-called "Board of Peace" ​reached an agreement for the complete disarmament ‌of Palestinian Hamas militants and other armed groups in Gaza.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump cast it ​as a "major milestone in the implementation of ​the Trump 20-Point Plan" to end Israel's war in ⁠Gaza.

He thanked mediators ​Egypt, Qatar and Turkey.

"This agreement is a critical ​step towards Gaza finally being governed by a new Palestinian ‌government ⁠that will work closely with the Board of Peace to help the Palestinian people," Trump said.

"At the same time, Israel will have the security ​it deserves," Trump ​added.

Earlier in ⁠the day, sources said that talks between mediators and Hamas leaders in Cairo ​on implementing a U.S.-brokered Gaza peace plan ​made ⁠rare progress although an Israeli official said proposed terms were not satisfactory.

Israeli strikes killed at least ⁠six Palestinians ​in Gaza on Thursday, including ​two children, medics said.

Trump says Hamas agreed to next phase of Gaza peace deal, including disarmament, negotiated by "Board of Peace"
CBS News, Jul 30, 2026

President Trump said Thursday evening Hamas and his international "Board of Peace" have agreed on the next steps in a peace deal that includes Hamas' disarmament in the Gaza Strip.

In a Truth Social post, the president called it a "HISTORIC agreement for the COMPLETE DISARMAMENT of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza," and a "monumental step toward lasting PEACE and SECURITY."

Hamas communicated through mediators that it agreed to the final text of the plan, including decommissioning their weapons, U.S. and Board of Peace officials told reporters Thursday.

Hamas has agreed to the plan for Gaza's disarmament, a senior Hamas official told CBS News' partner network BBC News. Israel has not yet publicly commented on Mr. Trump's announcement.

Under the plan, Israeli forces would withdraw from parts of Gaza as "disarmament is completed," Mr. Trump said Thursday, with an International Stabilization Force and a new Palestinian police force responsible for security.

Israel must approve Trump agreement before Hamas will implement, says Hamas official
Reuters, Jul 31, 2026

CAIRO, July 31 (Reuters) - Implementation of the deal to bring peace to Gaza announced by U.S. President Donald Trump will depend on Israel first meeting its commitments under an agreement reached ‌last year, a senior Hamas official told Reuters on Friday.

Previous attempts to reach an agreement have foundered amid mutual suspicion and each side's insistence that the other must move first, and there still appears to be some distance between ​the two sides.

On Friday, Hamas issued a statement saying the first step towards an agreement would have to be a commitment by Israel "to stopping the killing ⁠and ending its attacks".

[...]

Ghazi Hamad, a Hamas official involved in the negotiations, said the group was ready to accept an agreement he said was "difficult and painful".

But he avoided using the term disarmament and said the agreement was a "comprehensive framework" that would depend on Israel implementing the first phase of the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement.

Under that agreement, he said Israel was obliged to end its attacks in Gaza and withdraw its forces to where they stood in October, as well as increase the flow of goods and aid coming into the enclave.

Only ​then would Hamas agree to hand over its weapons ​for storage by the new National Committee ⁠for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), the Palestinian technocratic body set up to run the enclave.

"We insisted to the mediators that Israel must abide by the agreement," he said.

Israel won't sign on to anything until they see Hamas disarm.  Since they won't, and Israel isn't stupid, this agreement is Dead on Arrival.

Hamas hasn't disarmed.


Hamas says it will not disarm in Gaza before Israel withdrawal

The Palestinian movement said it would relinquish its weapons to allow for a technocratic administration to run the besieged territory

MEE staff  |  31 July 2026 |  10:35 BST

A senior Hamas official has said that the Palestinian movement will not take any steps toward disarmament before Israeli forces withdraw from Gaza.

Ghazi Hamad told Al Jazeera that Israel would have no role in the disarmament process. Instead, it is set to be carried out by a Palestinian national committee.

The armed group has largely abided by a ceasefire agreement that came into effect in October last year, as Israel continues a sustained bombing campaign in violation of the agreement, killing more than a thousand Palestinians and injuring many more.

According to the AFP news agency, Hamas sources said that the Palestinian technocratic committee established by the Board of Peace to govern Gaza will be "the sole entity" overseeing the process of managing and storing the group's weapons.

In separate comments to Reuters, Hamas reiterated that the handover of weapons was contingent on the withdrawal of Israeli forces, along with the increased flow of aid and goods into the territory.  .  .

This one will be dead before it can start because there is no way that Hamas will disarm, even after Israel withdraws all its forces from Gaza!
