Trump Confirms Next Phase of Gaza Plan With Focus on Disarmament and Governance

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the United States is officially moving into the next phase of its Gaza peace plan, transitioning from ceasefire enforcement to the implementation of governance, disarmament, and reconstruction. The announcement, made in a series of posts on Truth Social, underscores Washington’s deepening role in shaping the postwar landscape in Gaza.

“As Steve Witkoff announced, we have officially entered the next phase of Gaza’s 20-point peace plan,” Trump wrote, referring to his special envoy and key architect of the initiative.

Central to this new phase is the complete disarmament of Hamas and the dismantling of its underground terror infrastructure. Trump said the demilitarization would be carried out with the support of Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar, and would include “the surrender of all weapons, and the dismantling of every tunnel.”

He also insisted on immediate compliance, stating that Hamas “must immediately honor its commitments, including the return of the final body to Israel, and proceed without delay to full demilitarization.”

Trump revealed that a newly appointed transitional body, dubbed the “National Committee for the Administration of Gaza,” would govern the enclave during the transition period. He described it as a technocratic Palestinian entity, tasked with managing Gaza’s civilian needs while preparing for broader reform.

In a significant development, Trump announced the creation of a “Board of Peace” to oversee the process. While its members have not yet been revealed, Trump characterized it as “the greatest and most prestigious board ever assembled at any time, any place.”

The president emphasized the humanitarian dimension of the plan as well, noting that the U.S. had facilitated record levels of aid delivery since the ceasefire began. “Even the United Nations has acknowledged this achievement as unprecedented,” he added.

While the White House has yet to release a full implementation timeline, the shift marks a clear pivot in U.S. policy one that blends military, diplomatic, and humanitarian strategies to stabilize Gaza after one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent memory.

The challenge now lies in enforcement. With Hamas still armed and internal divisions within the Palestinian territories unresolved, questions remain about how the plan will be carried out if key players resist cooperation.

Still, the direction is unmistakable the United States, under Trump’s leadership, is aiming not only to end a war but to reshape Gaza’s future. And in doing so, it is pushing for a model that promotes security for Israel while fostering a sustainable and accountable framework for Palestinian governance.
