Hamas said Thursday it was ready to implement the roadmap for Gaza agreed with the Board of Peace, accusing the Israeli government of obstructing both the plan and the ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave, Anadolu Agency reported.
Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem said the group was “fully ready to implement the roadmap agreed with the Board of Peace concerning the peace plan in the Gaza Strip” and had taken all necessary steps to do so.
Qassem held the Israeli government responsible for what he described as the complete obstruction of the ceasefire agreement and its associated roadmap. He accused Israel of failing to meet its commitments while intensifying attacks on Palestinians in Gaza.
Hamas calls for international action
The spokesperson also accused the Board of Peace and its high representative for Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov, of failing to pressure Israel to implement the agreement.
Qassem called on all parties, particularly the US administration and the board, to “facilitate the entry of the technocratic committee into the Gaza Strip so it can carry out its duties toward the people of Gaza.”
He also urged the deployment of international forces under the ceasefire agreement and its roadmap.
Roadmap calls for disarmament and Israeli withdrawal
The Board of Peace announced a 15-point roadmap in July. The plan calls for the disarmament of Hamas and other Palestinian factions, the transfer of Gaza’s administration to a Palestinian national committee and a phased Israeli withdrawal.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the roadmap in August, insisting that complete disarmament must take place before any Israeli withdrawal. Hamas then called for international pressure on Israel to implement the agreed plan.
Addressing the UN Security Council on Aug. 26, Mladenov said Hamas and other armed factions had agreed for the first time to surrender their weapons and transfer civilian and security authority to a Palestinian transitional administration. He said disarmament and the Israeli withdrawal were linked steps whose implementation would be verified.
Under the roadmap, Palestinians would oversee the disarmament process, with weapons transferred to the Palestinian administration rather than Israel. The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, established in January under Ali Shaath, is intended to manage public services and other responsibilities during the transition.
In November 2025, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2803, endorsing a US-backed framework for Gaza’s transitional administration and authorizing a temporary international stabilization force.
