Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan: Detailed Implementation Roadmap | JP
The Board of Peace unveiled Friday a comprehensive and detailed roadmap for implementing President Trump’s Gaza peace framework, establishing a phased process for Hamas disarmament and the transfer of governance to a newly formed Palestinian technocratic committee. The agreement, negotiated over eight months by American, Egyptian, Qatari, and Turkish mediators, marks the most concrete advancement toward the second phase of the October ceasefire since negotiations stalled in recent months over fundamental disagreements on weapons decommissioning.
The roadmap rests on a central principle: “one authority, one law, one weapon.” Under the framework, all heavy weapons, ammunition depots, military production sites, and tunnel networks will be removed from operational use and placed under the sole control of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, a technocratic body designed to replace Hamas’s governance structure. The agreement stipulates that within fourteen days of formal endorsement by all parties, a detailed implementation timeline will be prepared, subject to extensions only with the approval of an international verification committee and agreement of both sides.
The disarmament process unfolds in stages, with verification mechanisms embedded at each step. Hamas-controlled police forces will first transfer their weapons to the National Committee upon its arrival in Gaza. Heavier military arsenals, tunneling infrastructure, and weapons manufacturing capabilities will be decommissioned in subsequent phases, contingent on the deployment of an International Stabilization Force and the advancement of Israeli force withdrawal from specified zones. The arrangement reflects a mutual assumption of zero trust: every commitment by both sides is conditional on the other’s demonstrated compliance, verified by international observers.
Israeli military withdrawal will proceed gradually in correlation with verified disarmament progress. An Israeli official clarified Friday that Israel will not retreat from the current “Yellow Line” without tangible evidence of Hamas’s complete weapons surrender and dismantlement. The International Stabilization Force, composed of foreign personnel, will establish separation between remaining Israeli positions and Palestinian-administered areas, facilitate humanitarian aid flow, and train a new Palestinian police force operating under the National Committee’s authority.
The agreement addresses Gaza’s economic reconstruction through a $400 million fund designated for civilian debt repayment and infrastructure rehabilitation, to be administered over three years. The roadmap also envisions revitalization of education and health systems, establishment of civilian governance frameworks based on law rather than military force, and comprehensive international oversight designed to prevent Hamas or other armed factions from reconstituting military capability.
The announcement comes amid clear signals of Israeli hesitation and domestic political fracture. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not publicly endorsed the roadmap, maintaining silence even as Trump declared the agreement “historic” and “monumental.” Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot criticized Netanyahu’s refusal to present the deal to Israel’s public, calling the concealment of terms “serious questions as to whether Israel is a partner to it, or whether, once again, an agreement is being imposed on Israel without its involvement.” Eisenkot emphasized that any agreement must be “examined solely by the test of achieving the war’s objectives, the destruction or dismantling of Hamas’s military-governmental power.”
Far-right ministers in Netanyahu’s coalition rejected the framework outright. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir declared that Israel neither signs agreements through third-party mediators nor restrains counterterrorism operations based on international commitments. Hamas, for its part, signaled conditional acceptance, with Hamas negotiator Ghazi Hamad telling Al Jazeera the group will not implement any provision of the agreement if Israeli forces fail to fulfill their withdrawal obligations.
The roadmap represents Trump’s attempt to resolve stalled negotiations by converting the twenty-point peace framework into measurable, time-bound phases with international arbitration and verification.
Whether the arrangement will withstand the competing domestic pressures in Israel, the fundamental resistance within Hamas to relinquishing its military identity, and the practical logistics of international oversight on Gaza’s fractured ground remains uncertain. Senior U.S. officials indicated implementation could advance within one to two months if all parties formally accept the terms, though Israeli officials have signaled fundamental concerns about Hamas rearmament risks under any arrangement permitting even limited Palestinian governance.
