Trump claims agreement for ‘complete disarmament’ of Hamas in Gaza, Hamas confirms deal

Former President Donald Trump announced on Thursday, July 30, 2026, that his "Board of Peace" had secured an agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in the Gaza Strip. Trump described the deal as a "historic" step toward lasting peace and security in the region, conveyed through a post on his Truth Social platform.

The proposed agreement outlines a phased disarmament process, during which Israeli forces would gradually withdraw from Gaza. An International Stabilization Force, in cooperation with a new Palestinian police force, would then assume responsibility for security in the territory. Trump credited Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye for their mediation efforts in facilitating this breakthrough.

While the initial prompt suggested Hamas's conditional acceptance, reports indicate that Hamas had not officially confirmed the agreement following Trump's announcement. Furthermore, an Israeli official subsequently stated that the 15-point disarmament proposal did not meet Jerusalem's demands for complete demilitarization, casting doubt on the agreement's immediate feasibility.
