Peace Council Reveals Trump Plan to Dismantle Hamas and Restructure Gaza Governance

The Peace Council for Gaza has unveiled a comprehensive roadmap to implement U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan for the Gaza Strip, aiming to fundamentally change the region's governance. The plan calls for the complete dismantling of Hamas's military capabilities and the transfer of all civil and security powers to a newly established National Committee for Gaza (NCAG), under strict international supervision. The process is designed to be gradual, with a detailed timeline launching within 14 days of agreement approval, emphasizing the principle of "one authority, one law, one weapon" to prevent armed militias from regaining control.

The plan includes the removal and storage of heavy weaponry, ammunition depots, production sites, and tunnels exclusively under the NCAG's authority, monitored by an International Verification Committee (IVC). Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) withdrawal from Gaza will be phased and contingent on verified compliance at each stage. Concurrently, a temporary international stabilization force (ISF) will be deployed to separate forces, ensure humanitarian aid delivery, and support the new police force under the NCAG. This force will operate under a clear, time-limited mandate.

Addressing Gaza's dire economic situation, the NCAG will manage financial obligations up to $400 million over three years to maintain civil functions and prevent economic collapse. The plan also outlines infrastructure rehabilitation, restoration of education and health systems, and establishment of a stable civilian government governed by law rather than armed power, all under rigorous international oversight.

The agreement sets high standards for international monitoring, requiring full verification before progressing through each phase, with independent reporting and rapid response mechanisms to prevent rearmament or rebuilding of militant infrastructure. The disclosure comes amid criticism from Israeli political figures like Gadi Eizenkot, who insists any agreement must achieve Hamas's military dismantlement. Meanwhile, President Trump has declared a historic agreement for Hamas's total disarmament, though Israel denies such discussions occurred between Prime Minister Netanyahu and Trump.

Security operations continue alongside diplomatic efforts; recently, the IDF eliminated Ahmed Hassin Muhammad Kafina, a senior militant involved in the October 7 attacks and hostage-taking. The ambitious plan's success depends on bridging gaps between involved parties and translating the roadmap into reality rather than leaving it unimplemented.
