Donald Trump announced on Thursday that the "Board of Peace" had reached a deal providing for the full disarmament of Hamas and of all armed groups in Gaza, along with a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from the enclave. The process is to unfold in several stages, supervised by a National Committee for the Administration of Gaza and an International Stabilisation Force. Hamas, through its negotiator Ghazi Hamad, ties that disarmament to a prior withdrawal of the Israeli military. Neither the Israeli government nor Hamas had formally confirmed the terms of the deal at the time of the announcement.
