Negotiators in Cairo are working on a roadmap for the disarmament of Hamas, a critical step towards establishing a new Palestinian government in Gaza.
Donald Trump announced an agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas, stating it is essential for peace. However, Hamas's Ghazi Hamad emphasized that disarmament is contingent upon Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and the progress of reconstruction efforts.1
Israel demands the complete disarmament of Hamas as a precondition for any peace process, including the removal of weapons and demilitarization of the region.
A diplomat involved in the talks revealed that the roadmap includes transferring authority to the US-backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) under the principle of “one authority, one law, one weapon.”7
The plan also aims to eliminate tunnels, arms stockpiles, and weapons production facilities, ensuring no militant infrastructure remains in Gaza by the end of the process.
Despite the progress reported, uncertainty looms as Israeli officials have expressed dissatisfaction with the proposed terms, raising questions about the agreement's viability.
“Hamas agreed to disarmament in Gaza, including handing over weapons to the International Stabilization Force, contingent on Israeli withdrawal and reconstruction progress, according to Ghazi Hamad. Meanwhile, a diplomat revealed that the roadmap includes phased authority transfer to the US-backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, aiming for no militant infrastructure by the end.”
