Trump Brokers Historic Gaza Peace Deal Including Complete Hamas Disarmament

August 18, 2026 Emma Walker – News Editor News

Hamas confirmed its commitment to a proposed Gaza ceasefire and disarmament deal following high-level diplomatic meetings in Israel involving Jared Kushner and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to international news reports. The diplomatic push centers on a phased roadmap that ties the immediate end of hostilities to the release of remaining hostages and the eventual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.

Diplomatic Talks and Stalled Breakthroughs

Meetings between Jared Kushner and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yielded no immediate breakthrough on the stalled Gaza agreement, as reported by The Guardian. However, the diplomatic engagement continued as Hamas separately communicated its stance to mediators. According to News24, Hamas stated it remains committed to pursuing a deal following Kushner’s visit to the region.

The diplomatic framework involves a four-page roadmap detailed by U.S. officials, which dictates that both Hamas and Israel will remain at identical phases until mutually established goals are met. According to reporting from The New York Times, Kushner’s meetings in Israel aimed directly at breaking the prolonged logjam over the terms of the Gaza plan.

The Proposed Disarmament and Transitional Roadmap

The overarching diplomatic plan outlines a structured process for ending the conflict. According to Fox News, Kushner presented a stark choice requiring Hamas to completely disarm or face renewed U.S. backing for Israel to finish military operations. Daily Mail reporting adds that the initiative forms part of a 20-point peace plan advanced by Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, which Hamas confirmed to the BBC it had agreed to.

The framework stipulates that smaller militant factions in Gaza will be dismantled first, followed by the destruction of underground tunnel infrastructure. Once these phases are achieved, a newly structured Palestinian authority would assume control of all weapons within the territory. Earlier this month, Hamas dissolved its governing body in Gaza to prepare for a power transfer to a United Nations-backed technical committee.

Under the terms described in the framework, the war would stop immediately upon joint agreement, accompanied by a ceasefire and Israeli troop withdrawals timed to the release of the final hostages. The provisions call for an International Stabilization Force and a newly formed Palestinian police force to secure the area, alongside the delivery of full humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. While militants refusing to lay down arms face exclusion, those agreeing to peaceful coexistence would be granted amnesty.

Mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey continue to coordinate alongside U.S. officials as the parties evaluate the structured phases of the roadmap.
