Board of Peace Announces Hamas Disarmament Roadmap After Cairo Talks — Israel Yet to Formally Accept

July 28-31, 2026 — A Hamas delegation traveled to Cairo from July 28 for talks with Egyptian, Qatari, and Turkish mediators, producing what negotiators called 'rare progress.' On July 30-31, the Board of Peace announced mediators (Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and the US) had finalized a roadmap for phased Hamas disarmament: weapons inventoried within 14 days and stored — not surrendered to Israel — under a Palestinian National Committee, with sector-by-sector demilitarization tied to phased Israeli withdrawal over an estimated 200-300 days. A seven-member executive board led by Tony Blair would oversee governance, with a roughly 5,000-strong International Stabilization Force providing security. Hamas official Ghazi Hamad said Hamas would not implement the roadmap unless Israel met its own withdrawal obligations, and Israel had not formally accepted the roadmap as of July 31.
