According to US President Donald Trump’ peace plan, the Board of Peace for Gaza was established in January 2026 under the agreement between Israel and the radical Palestinian movement Hamas to govern the enclave in the post-war period.
Israel and Hamas resumed Egypt-, Qatar-, United States-, and Turkey-mediated indirect talks on settling the situation in the Gaza Strip on October 6, 2025. On October 9, the parties to the conflict signed an agreement on the implementation of phase one of US President Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan. The ceasefire came into effect on October 10. Under the agreement, Israeli troops withdrew to the so-called Yellow Line but retained control over more than 50% of the enclave’s territory. Phase two of the Gaza peace plan envisages the disarmament of Palestinian radicals, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the enclave, and the deployment of an "international stabilization force," as well as the launch of the enclave administration structures, including the Board of Peace.
