Trump Peace Council Details Hamas Disarmament Plan Amidst Israeli-Hamas Dispute

Following President Donald Trump's announcement that Hamas agreed to disarm, the Trump Peace Council released a detailed disarmament framework for Hamas in Gaza. The plan stipulates that all weapons will be transferred to a technocratic committee under strict American supervision, led by General Jasper Jeffress, and rendered unusable. The disarmament process, expected to take months, requires Hamas and other groups to relinquish all arms, including heavy weapons, tunnels, and production sites, with no Israeli withdrawal before actual disarmament and cessation of military activity in Gaza.

Hamas responded with a statement emphasizing that implementation depends on an Israeli withdrawal and cessation of targeted killings, linking disarmament to broader conditions such as the entry of an administrative committee, deployment of international defense forces, dismantling of armed militias, reconstruction, and recognition of Palestinian statehood. Hamas also demands an immediate halt to all Israeli aggression as a prerequisite for progress.

The agreement is based on mutual reciprocity rather than trust, with Israel refusing to retreat before Hamas disarms, and Hamas required to stop all military activities, including recruitment and armament. A supervisory committee will monitor compliance, and the Israeli Security Forces will ensure the process is completed. Despite skepticism within Israel, officials highlight the involvement of the same team that successfully negotiated previous hostage and remains exchanges, viewing this as a historic step potentially improving regional stability and advancing stalled Abraham Accords.

The plan represents a significant blow to Iran, which opposes the agreement, marking the first time a jihadist terrorist organization has agreed to detailed voluntary disarmament. While implementation remains the critical test, the signing of the disarmament document is seen as a dramatic and transformative event for Israel, Gaza, and the broader region.
