With the recent announcement that the terror group Hamas has agreed to disarm in Gaza, the Board of Peace has unveiled a roadmap outlining the implementation of Donald Trump’s peace plan, offering a clearer picture of the next steps. Ynet reports that within 14 days of approval by both sides, a detailed timeline will be launched, and all civilian and security responsibilities will be transferred to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). Meanwhile, IDF counterterrorism operations continue in the enclave.
The plan is built around the principle of “One Authority, One Law, One Weapon.” Hamas and the Palestinian factions would be required to relinquish governing authority, while heavy weapons and tunnels would be decommissioned and placed exclusively under the authority of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG)
The document indicates that completion of the disarmament process and enforcement measures would be tied to a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, under the supervision of an International Verification Committee and with the deployment of an International Stabilization Force.
The full agreement outlines 15 steps, beginning with a ceasefire and ending with Gaza’s reconstruction under the Board of Peace. Key provisions include recruiting new police personnel based on experience and qualifications, ensuring the continuity of civilian institutions and public services, conducting an international audit of Gaza’s finances and administration, and deploying the ISF to separate Israeli forces from areas under NCAG control. Some of these measures are expected to be implemented over a three-year period.
The IDF also continued strikes in Gaza against other terrorist groups involved in the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel. It was reported today that a senior commander in the Mujahideen Brigades terrorist group was killed in a strike earlier this week. According to reports, he participated in the kidnapping of Avinatan Or and Noa Argamani, who were later rescued and reunited with their families over the following two years.
Meanwhile, Iran claimed to have attacked U.S. military assets in Kuwait after strikes resumed yesterday. However, no overnight U.S. strikes were reported. Kuwait said the rockets were successfully intercepted and that there were no casualties.
The Fellowship prays that these developments lead to lasting peace for Gaza and the surrounding region after so many years of war and terror. We also continue to pray for the safety of the United States and Israel during this time.
