June 13 amendments and a reply delivered last week show Trump’s Board of Peace pressing Hamas and other factions to accept broad weapons decommissioning as the basis for Gaza’s next phase.
The board’s revised roadmap expands disarmament from heavy weapons to depots, tunnels and all access to arms, while making Israeli withdrawal, reconstruction and the technocratic NCAG’s entry contingent on verified Palestinian compliance.
Palestinian negotiators say any weapons arrangement must be tied to self-determination, statehood and Gaza-West Bank unity; Hamas called the current paper unacceptable, while Qatar, Egypt and Turkey were said to view Palestinian amendments positively.
The dispute comes after Israel allegedly committed 3,338 ceasefire violations since October 2025, killed more than 1,000 Palestinians and allowed only 36% of agreed aid into Gaza, even as the board has centered talks on Palestinian disarmament.
Draft changes reviewed by Drop Site also remove or dilute references to Palestinian law, rights and a clear statehood pathway, reinforcing Palestinian claims that the process prioritizes Israeli security over an enforceable political settlement.
