Hamas Agrees to Three-Year Disarmament Roadmap Under Board of Peace Deal

Analysis
The roadmap's procedural detail does not resolve its structural defect: both parties are sequenced to require the other's action first, and neither has moved. Hamas has tied any weapons handover to prior Israeli withdrawal, while Israel's continued public silence leaves the International Verification Committee unable to certify the deal has entered force, blocking National Committee entry into Gaza and International Stabilization Force deployment. This assessment carries moderate confidence, based on the published text's explicit sequencing of obligations and the absence of any statement from either side narrowing the deadlock. The published terms, corroborated independently by the deal text and the Board of Peace's own statement rather than resting on secondary synthesis, replace prior announcement-only reporting with concrete conditions but may reflect a US-mediator construct meant to pressure Israel into public acceptance rather than an agreement both parties have actually concluded.
