nytimes.com • • world
Key Points:
- President Trump’s Board of Peace is pressing Hamas to finalize a demilitarization agreement for Gaza by the end of the week, demanding the militant group surrender most of its weapons and share tunnel network maps.
- The Board of Peace, established to oversee the six-month cease-fire in Gaza, aims to secure a lasting peace amid growing impatience with Hamas, even as U.S. and Israeli focus shifts toward conflict with Iran.
- Representatives from the Board and Hamas are scheduled to meet in Cairo to conclude the agreement, though the deadline may be subject to change.
- If Gaza is demilitarized, Israeli forces would largely withdraw, restrictions on goods would be lifted, militants would receive amnesty, and temporary housing caravans would be provided, according to internal Board documents.
- The New York Times based its report on internal documents and interviews with officials involved in the talks, all of whom requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the negotiations.
