Board of Peace: Hamas has Agreed to relinquishing all its weapons for Israel to withdraw from Gaza

Board of Peace: Hamas has Agreed to relinquishing all its weapons for Israel to withdraw from Gaza


The report of the board of Peace for Gaza confirmed that Hamas has Agreed to relinquish all of its weapons and for Israeli forces to withdraw from Gaza.

The Reports: 

The Board of Peace and the mediating countries of Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye, and the United States today are pleased to announce that Hamas has agreed to a detailed Roadmap for implementing the next phases of the Gaza ceasefire.


The agreement concludes months of intensive, good faith negotiations to advance President Donald J. Trump's vision for establishing new governance, security, humanitarian relief, reconstruction, and economic recovery in Gaza as set out in the Comprehensive Peace Plan and U.N. Security Council Resolution 2803.


The Roadmap represents a historic breakthrough. For the first time, Hamas officially has committed to an actionable plan for relinquishing all its weapons, which will be followed by Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

It holds the promise of delivering significant benefits to the people of Gaza, who have waited for too long for a better future, and security to the people of Israel.


Our focus now turns to implementation. The Board of Peace has worked closely with the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). It will soon begin a phased transition toward full authority, backed by the International Stabilization Force (ISF), and will accelerate implementation of the rule of law, security, and humanitarian improvement in Gaza

 



A Roadmap for Completing the Implementation of President Trump’s Comprehensive Peace Plan in Gaza




Principles:




1. All parties reaffirm their commitment to President Trump’s Comprehensive Plan to achieve peace in Gaza, which constitutes, together with the UN Security Council Resolution no. 2803 (2025), the agreed upon international framework guiding the implementation of this process. Through this process, the parties aim at ending the cycle of destruction, securing the complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza Strip, restoring normal life, enabling Palestinian governance, reconstruction, security, recovery and economic development, rehabilitating damaged sectors and facilitate launching a credible political path that achieves self-determination and Statehood.




2. Israel shall fully complete, without delay, all remaining commitments under Sharm Sheikh Protocol, particularly the cessation of military operations as detailed in annex (1). Hamas and the Palestinian factions shall complete the cessation of all military operations in accordance with Sharm Sheikh Protocol and the Peace Plan. In parallel, the timetable and implementation mechanisms of this Roadmap (“Implementation of Phase 2”) shall be prepared within 14 days after all parties approve the Roadmap, which could be extended by a decision by the International Verification Committee (IVC). Upon the completion of the timetable and implementation mechanisms, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) shall enter the Strip and start to assume its responsibilities. The IVC, that shall be established by the Board of Peace (BoP), comprising representatives from the guarantors, BoP and the International Stabilization Force (ISF), shall certify that both parties fulfill their commitments under the Roadmap before proceeding to the implementation of Phase 2.




3. Progression from one phase to the following one shall be contingent on the verified completion of the commitments of the previous phase. This verification shall be done by the IVC, which shall also observe any violations by either party through an enhanced monitoring mechanism.




4. Hamas and other factions agree that all civilian governance and security functions in Gaza shall be handed over to NCAG in accordance with President Trump’s Comprehensive Peace Plan in Gaza. They also assert that NCAG shall enjoy full independence in carrying out its responsibilities and that the factions shall not interfere in NCAG affairs during the transitional period, in accordance with UNSC Resolution 2803 (2025).




5. Upon fully assuming its responsibilities in Gaza, NCAG shall maintain the continuity of civilian institutions and public services.




All civil servants shall be treated lawfully, fairly and with dignity with respect to their rights. Those whose services are terminated or who are retired during the transitional period shall receive their rights in accordance with the Palestinian law.




With international support, NCAG shall carry out a comprehensive audit of the financial and administrative affairs in Gaza, and protect, recover and administer public assets and resources.




NCAG shall seek to assess the legitimate commitments to suppliers, contractors and other parties – up to a total amount of no more than $400M USD - and address them.




The implementation of these measures will be undertaken gradually, within three years, in accordance with priorities determined by the NCAG.




Any unresolved financial rights, liabilities or claims shall be addressed within the context of a wider national process later, and in accordance with the relevant Palestinian law

Fears of Iranian Missile: Satellite images Show U.S. withdrawing all Aircraft from Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan

Fears of Iranian Missile: Satellite images Show U.S. withdrawing all Aircraft from Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan




Satellite images have shown that the U.S. has withdrawn all aircraft from Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan amid fears of Iranian missile strikes.

Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan hosts a significant contingent of both U.S. and Royal Jordanian Air Force assets.

U.S. forces deployed a massive tri-fighter buildup at the site, which includes F-35A stealth fighters, F-15E Strike Eagles, and A-10 Warthogs.

The Jordan base also accommodates strategic airlift aircraft like the C-17 Globemaster III and C-130 Hercules, as well as EA-18G Growlers and MQ-9 Reaper drones. The report says the USt has withdrawn all in precautionary fears if the Iranian Missile Strikes.


Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in retaliations to the US strikes, attacked American military bases in the Gulf nations including Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and UAE .

Iran has launched a Sejjil ballistic missile toward Aqaba in Jordan roughly Monday Night.

The Sejjil is Iran's two-stage solid-fuel medium-range ballistic missile with a range of approximately 2,000 km, one of Iran's most advanced indigenous missiles, and is rarely deployed.


Mediators are working to push the US and Iran into a new ceasefire, per WSJ reports. Tehran authority have rejected any Ceasefire with the United States.

Mediators are worried the US and Iran could settle into a pattern where they keep conflict below the level of all-out war but disrupt regional economies indefinitely

Traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has now collapsed to just 10 ships per day as Iran declared the strait of Hormuz closed.

Qatar has floated the idea of a 10-day ceasefire backed by the US and an end to restrictions on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz to cool tensions


However, sources in Washington say Right now, President Donald Trump is focused on making Iran pay for their violations of the MOU and their continued acts of terrorism in the Strait of Hormuz. 


In addition, the President will make Iran pay for the recent deaths of U.S. soldiers. These devastating blows will continue until the President deems otherwise, but talks between our countries are continuing.”


Brent crude oil prices continue to trade around $90/barrel.


The idea of overthrowing Iran’s regime is returning to the agenda in parts of the Trump administration after diplomatic efforts failed, the Financial Times said in an analysis. It added that efforts to stoke an internal uprising were also returning to the agenda. 


Israel’s earlier proposal to arm Kurdish groups was rejected in Washington but could now be revived for lack of better alternatives.


According to Sputnik reports, analysis by expert indicates that the US lacks capacity to destroy Iran in full-scale confrontation


While the United States possesses substantial offensive weapons, sustaining a full-scale campaign against Iran would strain its resources and leave key assets vulnerable, according to war correspondent Elijah J. Magnier


The United States has ample firepower to launch major attacks but a limited stock of interceptors to defend against Iranian counterstrikes on US bases, allies, and Israel


Iran can expand the conflict geographically, increasing the number of targets Washington must defend and raising both political and economic costs


By saturating defenses with ballistic and cruise missiles, Iran can force the US and allies to waste interceptors on decoys while striking bases, logistics hubs, ports, radar sites, and fuel storage


Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz further amplifies its leverage, threatening global shipping and raising the stakes for any American military escalation


US media earlier reported that the growing American military presence in the Persian Gulf may signal preparations for a major confrontation. Tehran is ready for confrontation too.

Iran Rejects US backed 10-day ceasefire As IRGC Target Military Facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait with missiles and drones

Iran Rejects US backed 10-day ceasefire As IRGC Target Military Facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait with missiles and drones

Iran's Supreme Leaders 

Iran has rejected a U.S.-backed 10-day Qatari ceasefire proposal, with senior Iranian analyst and close adviser to Iran's negotiating team Mohammad Marandi dismissing the offer with a blunt message: "Don't even think about it."


The proposal reportedly called for a 10-day truce that would reopen two shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz. Marandi has previously said Iran has "no plans" to resume negotiations, citing a "fundamental lack of seriousness" from the Trump administration, while Iranian officials have repeatedly said talks will not resume until the threat against Iran has ended.


Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has issued a sharp warning to the United States, dismissing Washington’s military buildup in the region as contradictory to its public calls for de-escalation.


Ghalibaf said the United States continues to move additional military equipment into the Middle East while claiming it is seeking to stop the war, adding that Washington has “bet on our intelligence being as brief as their own IQ.” He stated that Iran has reached a stage where it fully understands what he described as American tactics and has prepared accordingly, stressing that “actions must confirm claims, not contradict them.”


Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Monday they had targeted US military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait with missiles and drones, including Al-Sakhir Air Base and Bin Salman Port in Bahrain and Arifjan Base in Kuwait.


In a statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said its navy strikes formed part of what it called the 23rd wave of "Nasr 2" operations and included attacks on facilities it said were used to maintain US drones, prepare naval vessels and support special operations forces.


The Guards said the attacks inflicted heavy damage and that operations against what they described as US military targets in the region would continue.


The statement also rejected comments by US President Donald Trump suggesting Iran was running low on missiles and drones, saying it would continue launching such weapons for as long as any conflict lasted.

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei says negotiations with the US could be pursued based on national interests

Baghaei says intermediaries have shared messages with Tehran over recent days.

IRGC said they would deliver what they described as a "memorable lesson" to the United States if it carried out further attacks, reaffirming their support for Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.


The Guards said they would not rely on US pledges, arguing that past experience had reinforced their distrust of Washington.


"If the criminal United States once again chooses the path of aggression, we remain committed to delivering the 'memorable lesson' promised by the Leader," the statement said.

Iranian President has said on Monday Iran is fighting a "full-scale war" with the United States, adding that managing the home fronts is very necessary to ensure that the Iranians didn't suffer as Washington expanded its strikes across the Islamic republic including a city hosting a nuclear power plant.

Iran's Military spokesperson Brigadier General Akraminia said the war will go on until Iran achieves full deterrence, stressing this is based on rationality and experience—not emotion. Without it, he warned, the enemy would miscalculate and attack again.


US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said late on Sunday that Iran is using the Strait of Hormuz as leverage in the war, adding that other countries need to "step up" pressure to protect global shipping. Iranian Times reported.

While rejecting the ceasefire, Tehran still dept open, diplomatic doors as Iran’s Interior Minister, Eskandar Momeni, traveled to Pakistan on July 20, at the invitation of Pakistan’s Interior Minister, Syed Mohsin Naqvi, heading a high-level delegation.

The delegation accompanying the minister includes representatives from the Ministries of Interior, Foreign Affairs, Roads and Urban Development, and Agriculture, as well as officials from the Law Enforcement Command (FARAJA) and the Customs Administration.
