Trump-Backed Gaza Roadmap Links Hamas Disarmament to Israeli Withdrawal and Palestinian State Path

A Trump-backed international peace body has published a multi-stage roadmap for Gaza that links the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed factions to a phased Israeli withdrawal, international security supervision, reconstruction, and a possible future Palestinian state.

The document, titled the Roadmap of July 30, 2026, is intended to turn President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan into an operational process with monitored conditions and verification requirements.

Hamas and Other Militias Would Be Removed From Power

Under the plan, Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups would be barred from holding any civilian or military role in Gaza. Administrative and security authority would instead be transferred to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, or NCAG, a new technocratic Palestinian governing body.

The roadmap is built around the principle of “One Authority, One Law, One Weapon.” All weapons in Gaza would eventually come under the exclusive control of the new administration.

The disarmament provisions cover heavy weapons, personal firearms, militia arsenals, weapons depots, production facilities, police weapons, and underground tunnels. Hamas would also be required to provide maps identifying tunnels and weapons-manufacturing sites.

South Korean reporting said Hamas had acknowledged the disarmament arrangement. President Trump also said the Peace Council had secured an agreement covering all armed groups operating in Gaza.

Weapons Would Be Surrendered and Destroyed

Weapons handed over under the agreement would be destroyed under the supervision of the Gaza administration established through the peace framework.

The dismantling process is reportedly expected to take up to 350 days. Israeli forces would withdraw from Gaza in stages as verified demilitarization requirements are completed.

The roadmap does not set an automatic withdrawal schedule based only on fixed dates. Each stage would depend on confirmation that the previous commitments had been fulfilled.

International Force Would Monitor the Transition

An International Verification Committee would oversee compliance and approve movement from one phase to the next.

An international stabilization force would operate alongside the committee, serving as a buffer between Israeli forces and areas transferred to Palestinian administration. The force would also help secure humanitarian aid routes and assist in building a new Palestinian police force.

The document states that Gaza residents would not be forced to leave the territory during the process.

Reconstruction and Political Process

Reconstruction would be managed through a joint mechanism involving the peace administration and the new Palestinian government.

The roadmap presents Hamas’ disarmament as part of a broader regional and political arrangement rather than an isolated security measure. The stated objective is to dismantle terror infrastructure, restore civilian administration, begin reconstruction, and create conditions for Palestinian self-determination and eventual statehood.

President Trump described the agreement as a decisive step toward placing Gaza under a new Palestinian government.

Potential Impact on Iran’s Terror Network

The agreement could also increase pressure on other Iran-backed armed groups, including Hezbollah. Hamas has long been part of Tehran’s regional terror network, and its verified disarmament would represent a serious setback for Iranian influence.

The plan could strengthen the United States’ role in the Middle East while weakening Iran’s ability to use armed proxies against Israel and other American allies.

Israel’s response will remain critical. Israeli officials are expected to judge the plan by whether Hamas is fully disarmed, its tunnels are destroyed, and the terror group is permanently prevented from rebuilding its military power.

Any path toward Palestinian statehood will ultimately depend on strict enforcement. Israel cannot be expected to accept another arrangement that allows Hamas to surrender only part of its arsenal, preserve hidden terror infrastructure, or return to power under a different name.
