Director-General of the Gaza Board of Peace Nickolay Mladenov published his “roadmap” for implementing US President Donald Trump’s peace plan for the Gaza Strip in a series of posts on X/Twitter.
The proposed “Roadmap to Complete the Implementation of President Trump’s Gaza Comprehensive Peace Plan,” Mladenov stated, contains 15 points covering topics including Hamas disarmament and IDF withdrawal from Gaza.
Mladenov detailed that Hamas will not be expected to immediately surrender or unilaterally disarm under the proposed plan. Instead, the disarmament would happen in phases through a Palestinian-led and internationally verified process.
Weapons confiscated during disarmament would not be handed over to Israel, Mladenov clarified. Arms would be transferred to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NGAG), the Palestinian technocratic committee charged with handling civilian administration in the Gaza Strip.
As the incremental disarmament of Hamas is verified, Israeli troops are expected to withdraw from Gaza in phases on an agreed-upon timeline, Mladenov explained.
Under the proposed plan, the facilitation of Hamas disarmament and IDF withdrawal would be supported by the International Stabilization Force (ISF).
According to Mladenov, “the purpose of the ISF is to reduce friction during the transition and support stability while Palestinian transitional institutions assume responsibility on the ground.”
Reconstruction of Gaza to proceed when stability is verified
Mladenov also detailed that a “Social Peace Agreement” would be implemented as part of the roadmap, including “commitments to stop internal killings, prohibit reprisals, ban armed demonstrations, and end displays of armed force.”
Efforts to reconstruct areas of Gaza that were destroyed during the Israel-Hamas War will begin as other points of the plan are implemented. Financing and rebuilding will not move forward until a functioning administration under the NCAG can be verified.
“The faster implementation progresses, the faster Gaza can begin rebuilding homes, schools, hospitals, infrastructure, and economic life at scale,” Mladenov stated.
Mladenov emphasized that each step of implementing the plan depends on each party fulfilling its obligations and announced that a verification mechanism will be created to ensure that such obligations are fulfilled before proceeding to further steps.
