Three terms define the accord the European Union has welcomed: the permanent decommissioning of weapons held by Hamas and other non-state armed groups, the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and a transition to civilian governance in the territory. Kaja Kallas stated the EU's position in an endorsement of the announcement. No timeline, implementing authority, or verification mechanism is included in her statement.

The governance term calls for a transition to civilian rule. No successor authority, interim council, or named institution appears in the EU statement. What form civilian governance takes remains unstated.
