Trump Presses Israel to Accept Deal with Hamas
The 15-point plan links Israeli withdrawal to verified weapons decommissioning and puts Gaza security under a Palestinian-led authority and international forces.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump unveiled a 15-point roadmap for Gaza, and on Friday, Hamas agreed to a sequenced disarmament plan contingent on Israeli military withdrawal from the enclave.
- Trump's Board of Peace, established last year, oversaw months of negotiations to revive the October 2025 ceasefire agreement that had stalled between Israel and Hamas over Gaza's future.
- The plan establishes the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza to control local armaments, while an International Stabilization Force will oversee phased Israeli withdrawal as disarmament progresses.
- Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir dismissed the deal as "unacceptable," while Hamas negotiator Ghazi Hamad insisted Israel must first halt all attacks before the group relinquishes weapons.
- Mediators from the U.S., Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey must now secure an implementation timetable, though high representative Nickolay Mladenov warned that verification remains the plan's most critical challenge.

Trump hails Gaza peace deal as ‘great breakthrough’, but Hamas and Israel disagree on key conditions
Speaking at Camp David, Trump said the agreement represented “a big step for the Middle East” and expressed confidence that it could help end months of fighting in Gaza, despite acknowledging that the process would face challenges.
In the Middle East, the gap between diplomacy and reality on the ground is striking. While a major agreement on Hamas disarmament is taking shape behind the scenes, the Israeli army seems intent on pressing its advantage. The IDF has carried out new strikes in Gaza, notably targeting the area around a hospital, killing at least two people in the last 24 hours. On the ground, tensions remain extremely high in the Palestinian enclave.
Yesterday, August 31, US President Donald Trump announced in a post on Truth that "the Council for Peace (Board of Peace, ed) has reached a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all the other armed groups in Gaza." A "fundamental step towards a lasting peace and security" that according to Trump will allow Israel "to count on the security it deserves, since Gaza is no longer a basis for terrorist attacks." This will take p…
