Trump Claims Gaza Disarmament Deal As U.S. Officials Call It A Nonfinal Roadmap
On Thursday, July 30, 2026, President Trump posted on Truth Social saying the Board of Peace had reached a "HISTORIC agreement" for the "COMPLETE DISARMAMENT" of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza.[1]
U.S. and Board of Peace officials said on a press call the same night that the document is a proposed "roadmap" or "pathway to a potential agreement," not a finalized accord.[1] They said the framework envisions full Hamas disarmament, a technocratic Palestinian-run government and Gaza reconstruction, but that many details and verification steps remain unsettled.[1]
Officials also said Israeli withdrawal from Gaza would occur in phases under a timetable that has not been finalized, and that Israel has not publicly confirmed acceptance of the roadmap's disarmament terms.[1] They estimated full decommissioning of weapons could take roughly 200 to 350 days, with movement to each phase contingent on verification of prior steps.[1]
One official cautioned that the roadmap "doesn't mean we will achieve things" and described the document as creating only "a chance to achieve things," underscoring uncertainty over outcomes.[1] CBS News also reported the president's post.[2]
