The Board of Peace (BoP), an international body led by US President Donald Trump, has shifted its focus from merely overseeing a ceasefire to proposing a significant overhaul of governance and military structure in the Gaza Strip. The most notable aspect of its recent proposals is a formal disarmament plan for Hamas and other militant groups, which calls for a multi-phase disarmament process over approximately eight months. Hamas is required to surrender heavy weapons, including missiles and rocket launchers, within a 90-day timeframe and provide maps of its tunnel network. The BoP aims to replace Hamas's governance with a new administrative structure led by independent Palestinian technocrats, advocating for a principle of “One Authority, One Law” to unify security forces in Gaza. Furthermore, the Board has linked reconstruction aid to the successful disarmament of Hamas, envisioning a rebuilt Gaza based on free-market principles. However, Hamas has largely rejected these initiatives, viewing them as a form of political surrender, while expressing a willingness to discuss disarmament of heavy weapons but insisting on retaining light arms for self-defense against Israel. The BoP's proposals reflect a complex interplay of international diplomacy and regional power dynamics.
