The Hamas plan involves destroying Gaza's tunnels and surrendering its arms over eight months, with a five-stage timeline that includes a U.S.-backed committee of Palestinian technocrats taking security control of Gaza and ending the process with Israeli forces withdrawing completely once it is deemed free of weaponry. The plan includes a 12-point document titled "Steps to Complete the Implementation of Trump's Comprehensive Peace Plan for Gaza" and a five stage timeline for Hamas surrendering arms. All armed factions in Gaza, including groups like Islamic Jihad, will participate in a disarmament process overseen by the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). The disarmament will be verified by the Weapons Collection Verification Committee, led by Nickolay Mladenov, the Board of Peace's lead envoy. The document makes no mention of Palestinian statehood or independence. However, Hamas has expressed openness to disarmament as long as it is done on a political track that would see the establishment of a Palestinian state.
