Even though Hamas has endorsed the plan, doubts remain about its reliability and trustworthiness, with Israeli officials expressing dissatisfaction.The process involves establishing an International Verification Committee within two weeks to oversee steps such as Israeli troop withdrawal and Hamas disarmament, with progress to be verified through an incentive-based system. Hamas demands a halt to Israeli attacks and increased humanitarian aid, but faces opposition from Israeli security officials. Political complexities, including differing views within the Israeli government, pose challenges to the plan&#8217;s success. Additionally,efforts are underway to create a Palestinian police force within Gaza,aiming to deploy a significant initial cohort.Trump expressed support and praised Israel&#8217;s cooperation, emphasizing a pragmatic, step-by-step approach to achieve lasting peace.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Donald Trump announced his Board of Peace\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/4670320\/board-of-peace-agreement-disarm-hamas-gaza-trump\/\">15-point plan for demilitarizing Gaza<\/a> with a triumphant tone, but the officials actually implementing the plan are not taking any victory laps yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 15-point plan is expected to take anywhere between 200 and 350 days to complete, and this new deal is only just getting off the ground. While Hamas has signed onto the plan, the terrorist group has proven to be an unreliable partner in executing joint initiatives in Gaza. Israeli ministers, meanwhile, have signaled dissatisfaction and opposition to the entire process.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4671200\/board-of-peace-not-celebrating-plan-hamas-no-trust-israel-pushback\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Board of Peace \u2018still not celebrating\u2019 Hamas deal: \u2018There is no trust.
