Hamas has agreed to a roadmap for the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire, including relinquishing its weapons under a US-backed peace plan mediated by Egypt, Qatar, Turkiye and the US. The agreement envisages phased Israeli withdrawal, a Palestinian-led transitional administration, and international oversight, though Hamas says implementation depends on Israel fulfilling its commitments.

Washington DC: The Board of Peace and mediators Egypt, Qatar, Turkiye and the US announced on Thursday (local time) that Hamas has agreed to a detailed roadmap for implementing the next phases of the Gaza ceasefire, including a plan for the group to relinquish its weapons.

In a post on X, the Board of Peace said the agreement followed months of "intensive, good faith negotiations" aimed at advancing US President Donald Trump's vision for new governance, security, humanitarian relief, reconstruction and economic recovery in Gaza, as outlined in the Comprehensive Peace Plan and UN Security Council Resolution 2803.

"The Roadmap represents a historic breakthrough. For the first time, Hamas officially has committed to an actionable plan for relinquishing all its weapons, which will be followed by Israeli withdrawal from Gaza," the Board of Peace said.
