Donald Trump announces agreement for disarmament of Hamas
U.S. President Donald Trump announced an agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, calling it a critical step toward a new Palestinian government. This agreement, following a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, involves phased disarmament, Israeli withdrawal, and the establishment of a National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) and an International Stabilization Force (ISF) for security and governance. Mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey were thanked for their role. While Hamas officials confirmed a deal on weapons and gradual Israeli withdrawal, an Israeli source indicated the proposed deal does not fully address Israeli demands for complete demilitarization.
