  • Roadmap outlines Gaza peace and statehood framework.
  • Sets phased 'Israeli' withdrawal and NCAG governance.
  • NCAG to oversee administration and financial audits.
  • Demilitarization tied to international oversight and withdrawal.

Hamas emphasized that 'Israeli' compliance with ending attacks and fulfilling Phase 1 commitments remains the prerequisite for advancing the agreement.

Adding that incorporating heavy weaponry into the deal is strictly contingent upon a complete 'Israeli' withdrawal, early recovery, deployment of international protection forces, dismantling of 'Israeli'-backed armed militias, and guaranteed Palestinian self-determination and statehood.

Roadmap established for Phase 2

An official roadmap outlining the execution of Phase 2 of US President Donald Trump’s Comprehensive Gaza Peace Plan has been established, anchored by UN Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025) as the binding international framework.

The agreement sets a pathway toward ending hostilities, facilitating the complete withdrawal of 'Israeli' military forces from the Gaza Strip, restoring public life, empowering Palestinian governance, and opening a credible political track toward Palestinian self-determination and statehood.

Transition of governance, 14-day implementation timeline

Under the roadmap terms, 'Israel' is required to fulfill all remaining obligations under the Sharm El-Sheikh Protocol without delay, specifically stopping all military operations. Simultaneously, Hamas and other Palestinian factions must complete a full cessation of military activities.

A 14-day timeline will be initiated following multi-party approval to establish implementation mechanisms and timetables for "Phase 2 Execution".

This period may be extended by the International Verification Committee (IVC) - a monitoring body created by the Board of Peace (BoP) comprising representatives from guarantors, the BoP, and the International Stabilization Force (ISF).

Once verified, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) will enter the enclave to assume full civil governance and security responsibilities.

Hamas and all other factions agree that the NCAG will operate with complete independence without interference during the transition period.

Civilian administration, financial audits, and public debt handling

Upon assuming full operational responsibility, the NCAG will maintain the continuity of public services and civil institutions. The protocol dictates that all civil employees will be treated legally, fairly, and with dignity regarding their rights.

Employees facing retirement or termination during the transition will receive full entitlements under Palestinian law.

The NCAG's mandate includes:

  • Administrative & Financial Audit: Conducting a comprehensive international audit of Gaza's finances while safeguarding and managing public assets and resources.
  • Debt Assessment: Evaluating and settling legitimate financial commitments to contractors and suppliers up to a maximum total of $400 million, phased over three years.
  • Unresolved Claims: Addressing lingering financial rights or claims through a subsequent broader national process under Palestinian law.

Single authority and demilitarization protocols

The security mandate for Gaza will adhere strictly to the principle of "one authority, one law, one weapon", operating under applicable Palestinian laws and international standards.

Newly trained police personnel will be integrated into existing police structures following comprehensive vetting.

Personnel who fail vetting criteria will be provided alternative civil roles matching their experience or retired according to Palestinian law without losing financial rights due to political affiliations.

All police weapons will fall under NCAG authority upon its entry.

Demilitarization -encompassing heavy weapons storage, tunnel dismantling, and the decommissioning of military production sites and armories- will commence following Sharm El-Sheikh Protocol completion, NCAG entry, and ISF deployment.

This phased, time-bound process will be directly linked to a gradual 'Israeli' military withdrawal from Gaza sectors.

Palestinian factions will participate in the demilitarization process, with explicit guarantees that no weapons will be handed over to 'Israel' or non-Palestinian entities.

At the conclusion of the process, the NCAG will be the sole body authorized to possess, store, or control weapons in Gaza.

Personal weapons will be regulated strictly under Palestinian law, with the NCAG acting as the sole transitional authority responsible for weapons registration, licensing, and enforcement.

Furthermore, militia arms will be demilitarized and stored under NCAG authority, with militia members barred from joining security services.

A social civil peace accord will also be signed to end internal violence and ban military parades or armed demonstrations.

International Stabilization Force (ISF), troop withdrawal, and reconstruction

The temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) will deploy to Gaza to separate 'Israeli' forces from NCAG-controlled sectors.

The ISF is explicitly prohibited from conducting policing duties within the Palestinian community.

Instead, its mandate focuses on:

  • Monitoring overall ceasefire compliance by all parties.
  • Securing and delivering humanitarian aid and essential supplies.
  • Training Palestinian police forces.
  • Assisting the NCAG in non-policing tasks upon official request.

'Israeli' forces must execute a complete, phased withdrawal from the Gaza Strip according to the agreed timeline, accompanied by a strict commitment that no resident will be forced to leave the enclave. Internal security incidents will fall exclusively under NCAG jurisdiction.

Reconstruction efforts and resource allocation across Gaza will be planned, executed, and supervised jointly by the Board of Peace (BoP) and the NCAG in compliance with international standards and relevant laws.
