- The Donald Trump-led Board of Peace announced a 'monumental step' toward lasting peace and security with a deal for Hamas’s disarmament.
- Hamas made no promise to unilaterally disarm, but agreed to hand over its weapons gradually under the supervision of an interim administration.
- Israel maintains that full demilitarization is a precondition for any process, raising doubts about the agreement's implementation.
What happened
The US president's Board of Peace has reached a deal with Hamas on the disarmament of Palestinian militant groups in Gaza. While the agreement marks progress, it falls short of Israeli demands for complete demilitarization.
Reactions and Background
Julian Borger and Seham Tantesh reported that Hamas had previously announced plans to hand over governance to an interim administration. However, Israel blocked this administration's entry into Gaza since its creation in January. The new agreement is seen as a strategic move by Hamas to revive a stalled peace process and counter Israeli-led proposals that limit relief and reconstruction efforts.
Details of the Agreement
A member of Hamas’s negotiating team, Ghazi Hamad, stated that Israel must commit to implementing its obligations for the agreement to be effective. If Israel does not comply, neither will Hamas. The deal covers ending the war, the entry of an interim administration into Gaza, Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, reconstruction efforts, and the deployment of international forces.
Israeli Concerns and Future Steps
An unnamed Israeli official told Reuters that the Board of Peace's 15-point disarmament proposal does not meet Israel’s demands for full demilitarization. Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has raised objections to Tony Blair, a key mediator in the process.
A US official expressed confidence that Israel would adhere to the plan’s terms, as it was based on earlier agreements. The official also stated that if Israel does not agree, President Trump will be disappointed but remains optimistic about implementation.
Global Reactions
Australia's foreign minister, Penny Wong, welcomed the White House announcement but called for more details and emphasized the importance of UN Security Council endorsement. She highlighted the need to ensure Hamas disarmament and a successful Palestinian state that benefits the population.
The deal, while seen as progress by some, faces significant challenges in its execution due to ongoing tensions between Israel and Hamas. Analysts view it as part of a broader effort to revive peace negotiations and address humanitarian concerns in Gaza.
