President Donald Trump announced Thursday that an agreement has been reached calling for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups operating in Gaza, describing it as a major step toward long-term peace and regional security.
According to Fox News, the announcement came in a post on Truth Social, where Trump said the Board of Peace brokered the agreement with assistance from international mediators, including Egypt, Qatar and Türkiye.
Trump noted the agreement calls for the full disarmament of Hamas and other armed factions in Gaza as part of a broader effort to reshape governance in the territory.
"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," Trump wrote.
Trump said the agreement is intended to pave the way for a new Palestinian government that would work alongside the Board of Peace while also addressing Israel's security concerns.
"This agreement is a critical step toward 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, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks," he added.
The announcement identified Egypt, Qatar and Türkiye as key international mediators involved in reaching the agreement.
Trump did not provide additional details about the timeline for implementation or how the disarmament process would be carried out.
No further information was immediately released regarding the structure of the proposed Palestinian government or the specific responsibilities of the Board of Peace under the agreement.
The announcement marks one of the most significant diplomatic developments outlined by the Trump administration regarding Gaza.
The development comes as diplomatic efforts continue to focus on ending hostilities in Gaza and establishing a framework for long-term stability in the region.
