A Roadmap for Completing the Implementation of President Trump’s Comprehensive Peace Plan in Gaza

In a significant breakthrough, the United States has announced a deal for Hamas to disarm and Israel to withdraw its forces from Gaza. The deal, which aims to bring peace and stability to the region, has been agreed upon by Hamas and Israel, with the support of the United States.

The deal, which is outlined in a comprehensive roadmap, includes several key provisions. Firstly, Israel shall fully complete its remaining commitments under the Sharm Sheikh Protocol, particularly the cessation of military operations, as detailed in Annex 1. Hamas and the Palestinian factions shall also complete the cessation of all military operations in accordance with the Sharm Sheikh Protocol and the Peace Plan.

In parallel, the timetable and implementation mechanisms of this Roadmap (Phase 2) shall be prepared within 14 days after all parties approve the Roadmap. This could be extended by a decision by the International Verification Committee (IVC). Upon the completion of the timetable and implementation mechanisms, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) shall enter the Strip and start to assume its responsibilities.

The IVC, which shall be established by the Board of Peace (BoP), comprising representatives from the guarantors, BoP, and the International Stabilization Force (ISF), shall certify that both parties fulfill their commitments under the Roadmap before proceeding to the implementation of Phase 2. Progression from one phase to the following one shall be contingent on the verified completion of the commitments of the previous phase. This verification shall be done by the IVC, which shall also observe any violations by either party through an enhanced monitoring mechanism.

Hamas and other factions agree that all civilian governance and security functions in Gaza shall be handed over to NCAG in accordance with President Trump’s Comprehensive Peace Plan in Gaza. They also assert that NCAG shall enjoy full independence in carrying out its responsibilities and that the factions shall not interfere in NCAG affairs during the transitional period, in accordance with UNSC Resolution 2803 (2025).

Upon fully assuming its responsibilities in Gaza, NCAG shall maintain the continuity of civilian institutions and public services. All civil servants shall be treated lawfully, fairly, and with dignity with respect to their rights. Those whose services are terminated or who are retired during the transitional period shall receive their rights in accordance with the Palestinian law.

With international support, NCAG shall carry out a comprehensive audit of the financial and administrative affairs in Gaza, and protect, recover, and administer public assets and resources. NCAG shall seek to assess the legitimate commitments to suppliers, contractors, and other parties – up to a total amount of no more than $400M USD – and address them. The implementation of these measures will be undertaken gradually, within three years, in accordance with priorities determined by the NCAG.

Any unresolved financial rights, liabilities, or claims shall be addressed within the context of a wider national process later, and in accordance with the relevant Palestinian law. Gaza shall be governed according to the principle of One Authority, One Law, One Weapon. NCAG shall operate in accordance with Palestinian laws, relevant international standards, and the principles of good governance.

Newly-trained police personnel shall be incorporated into existing police structures. All police personnel shall undergo a comprehensive vetting. Those who do not meet the required standards of vetting shall be offered alternative civilian roles consistent with their earlier experience or retire in accordance with the Palestinian law. None of those shall be deprived of their financial rights, particularly due to political affiliation. All police weapons shall be transferred to the responsibility and authority of NCAG upon its entry into Gaza and the assumption of its missions.

A process to decommission and store heavy weapons, military production sites, depots of weapons, and tunnels, shall begin after completing the remaining commitments under the Sharm Sheikh Protocol, the entry of NCAG, and the deployment of ISF. This process shall be administered and implemented by NCAG in a gradual, sequential, and time-bound manner according to an implementation timetable that shall be completed within 14 days after all parties approve the Roadmap, which could be extended by a decision by IVC. This process shall be linked to an Israeli withdrawal, in phases, from the areas under its control in Gaza and the decommissioning of armed militias in accordance with article 10 of this Roadmap.

The Palestinian factions shall take part in this process, and no weapons shall be transferred or handed to Israel or non-Palestinian parties. At the end of the process mentioned in articles 7–10 of this Roadmap, only NCAG shall hold, store, or control weapons in Gaza. The implementation of this Roadmap, including the issue of weapons and other articles of the comprehensive peace plan, shall create appropriate conditions for a credible pathway towards achieving Palestinian self-determination and statehood.

Personal weapons in Gaza shall be subject to the regulations of relevant Palestinian laws. As the transitional authority in the Strip, NCAG shall be the sole authority to register weapons, issue and revoke licenses, and enforce the law, including through reintegration and social support. All factions, clans, and components of the Palestinian society in Gaza shall cooperate with NCAG in this process.

A Social Peace Agreement shall be signed in accordance with Palestinian norms and laws. It shall include commitments to immediately end internal violence, avoid reprisals, shows of force, military parades, and armed demonstrations.

The temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) shall be deployed in Gaza Strip to separate the Israeli forces from NCAG-controlled areas. ISF shall not perform any police mission or missions related to the Palestinian society. Furthermore, it shall monitor compliance by all parties with the ceasefire, train the Palestinian police, secure the protection and delivery of humanitarian assistance and essential supplies into Gaza Strip, and support the NCAG, at its request, in any other non-policing mission.

Israeli forces shall complete their phased withdrawal from Gaza Strip according to an agreed-upon timetable, consistent with article 8 of the Roadmap and in accordance with President Trump’s Comprehensive Peace Plan, which includes a commitment not to force anyone to leave the Strip. NCAG shall be responsible for handling internal security.

The implementation of this Roadmap, including the issue of weapons and other articles of the comprehensive peace plan, shall create appropriate conditions for a credible pathway towards achieving Palestinian self-determination and statehood.
