Hamas agrees to surrender arms, relinquish governance, Peace Board says

Mladenov said the agreement would remove every category of weapon in Gaza and tie Hamas disarmament to phased Israeli withdrawals.

  • On Wednesday, Gaza Peace Board High Representative Nickolay Mladenov told the United Nations Security Council that Hamas and other armed factions agreed to surrender their weapons and transfer full governing authority to a transitional administration.
  • The agreement follows a 15-point roadmap unveiled by the Board of Peace in late July, which requires the disarmament of Hamas and the transfer of Gaza administration to a National Committee for the Administration of Gaza.
  • Mladenov specified the removal of "every category of weapon in Gaza," including heavy weapons and tunnels, emphasizing that phased withdrawal depends on verified decommissioning and reciprocal steps.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that Hamas must be fully disarmed before any Israeli withdrawal or reconstruction begins, maintaining his rejection of the plan's sequencing.
  • Advancing the process requires deployment of the International Stabilization Force, though Mladenov warned that ongoing military activities and attacks by both sides continue to threaten the ceasefire.
