Hamas Agrees to Disarm Under Trump-Brokered 'Board of Peace' Plan

In a landmark development for Middle Eastern diplomacy, the Palestinian group Hamas has reportedly agreed to a 'historic' disarmament plan brokered by President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace. The agreement, which has been lauded by the U.S. administration as a vital step toward long-term stability, stipulates that Hamas will lay down its arms in exchange for a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.

While Hamas officials confirmed their acceptance of the plan to international media, the Israeli government has yet to issue a formal response. Sources close to the negotiations suggest the deal aims to establish a new framework for Palestinian governance in the enclave. However, the proposal remains divisive globally; while the U.S. and some regional allies champion the move, several European nations, including France and Spain, have expressed reservations or declined direct participation in the Board of Peace's oversight.

The announcement comes against a backdrop of continued volatility. Even as the disarmament news broke, reports emerged of Israeli raids in the Nablus governorate and ongoing tensions in the West Bank. The Board of Peace plan reportedly includes provisions for humanitarian aid and infrastructure rebuilding, though critics remain skeptical about the feasibility of verifying total disarmament in the war-torn territory.
