Trump says Board of Peace reaches Hamas disarmament deal
US President Donald Trump has said that his ‘Board of Peace’ has reached an agreement to disarm Palestinian group Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza.
"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 wrote on the Truth Social website on Thursday. "At the same time, Israel will have the security it deserves, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks."
The US president has also said that Israeli forces would withdraw from Gaza after the disarmament of Hamas is complete, and that an International Stabilisation Force would work with a new Palestinian police force to take control of the strip.
"Under this agreement, Gaza will finally be in the hands of a new Palestinian government that serves its PEOPLE," Trump said on Truth Social.
