President Donald Trump is claiming Hamas will be disarmed, along with other militant Islamist groups, through a deal reaches with his Gaza Board of Peace. Israel has expressed doubts in the efficacy of the deal.
Trump declared, “Today, the Board of Peace reached a HISTORIC agreement for the COMPLETE DISARMAMENT of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. This is a monumental step toward lasting PEACE and SECURITY.
“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. At the same time, Israel will have the security it deserves, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks… As disarmament is completed, Israeli forces will withdraw, and the International Stabilization Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to take responsibility for Gaza being safe for its residents and its neighbors.”

EXCERPT:
DONALD Trump’s Board of Peace has reached a crucial agreement with Hamas for the “complete disarmament” of the terror group in Gaza.
The “historic breakthrough” saw Hamas agree to lay down its weapons with Israel now set to completely withdraw from Gaza after over 1,000 days of fighting.
The militant group’s disarmament was one of the main issues during truce talks since a fragile ceasefire was implemented last October.
US President Donald Trump made the announcement on Truth Social overnight as he said the deal also applies to all armed groups in Gaza.
Hamas’ terror tunnels and infrastructure built since the October 7 massacre in 2023 will also be dismantled.
He added: “The agreement will be carried out in carefully structured phases.”
