According to the document, within 14 days of approval by both sides, a detailed implementation timetable would be launched, culminating in the transfer of all civilian and security responsibilities to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG).
The plan is built around the principle of "One Authority, One Law, One Weapon." Hamas and the Palestinian factions would be required to relinquish governing authority, while heavy weapons and tunnels would be decommissioned and placed exclusively under the authority of the NCAG.
The document indicates that completion of the disarmament process and enforcement measures would be tied to a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, under the supervision of an International Verification Committee and with the deployment of an International Stabilization Force.

The full text of the agreement

1. All parties reaffirm their commitment to President Trump's Comprehensive Peace Plan for Gaza, which, together with UN Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025), constitutes the agreed international framework for implementing this process. The parties aim to end the cycle of destruction, secure the complete Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, restore normal life, enable Palestinian governance, reconstruction, security, recovery and economic development, rehabilitate damaged sectors, and facilitate a credible political process leading to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.
2. Israel shall fully complete, without delay, all remaining commitments under the Sharm Sheikh Protocol, particularly the cessation of military operations as detailed in Annex 1. Hamas and the Palestinian factions shall complete the cessation of all military operations in accordance with the Sharm Sheikh Protocol and the Peace Plan.
In parallel, the timetable and implementation mechanisms for this Roadmap ("Implementation of Phase 2") shall be prepared within 14 days after all parties approve the Roadmap. This period may be extended by a decision of the International Verification Committee (IVC).
Once the timetable and implementation mechanisms are completed, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) shall enter the Strip and begin assuming its responsibilities.
The IVC, established by the Board of Peace (BoP) and comprising representatives of the guarantors, the BoP and the International Stabilization Force (ISF), shall certify that both parties have fulfilled their commitments under the Roadmap before Phase 2 begins.
3. Progression from one phase to the next shall depend on the verified completion of the commitments of the previous phase. Verification shall be conducted by the IVC, which shall also monitor violations by either party through an enhanced monitoring mechanism.
4. Hamas and the other Palestinian factions agree that all civilian governance and security functions in Gaza shall be transferred to the NCAG in accordance with President Trump's Comprehensive Peace Plan for Gaza. They further affirm that the NCAG shall operate independently and that the factions shall not interfere in its affairs during the transitional period, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025).

All civil servants shall be treated lawfully, fairly and with dignity. Those whose employment ends or who retire during the transitional period shall receive their legal entitlements under Palestinian law.
With international support, the NCAG shall conduct a comprehensive audit of Gaza's financial and administrative affairs and protect, recover and administer public assets and resources.
The NCAG shall assess legitimate obligations to suppliers, contractors and other parties, up to a maximum of $400 million, and address them.
These measures shall be implemented gradually over three years, according to priorities determined by the NCAG.
Any unresolved financial rights, liabilities or claims shall be addressed later through a broader national process in accordance with Palestinian law.

8. A process to decommission and store heavy weapons, military production sites, weapons depots and tunnels shall begin after completion of the remaining commitments under the Sharm Sheikh Protocol, the arrival of the NCAG and the deployment of the ISF.
This process shall be administered by the NCAG according to a gradual, sequential and time-bound implementation timetable to be completed within 14 days after all parties approve the Roadmap, subject to extension by the IVC.
