Hamas has agreed to begin disarming as part of a deal announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, which also requires Israel to end its strikes and withdraw from Gaza, according to a report from Yahoo News. The agreement, described as “HISTORIC” by Trump, marks a significant shift in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The deal was announced amid growing international pressure for a resolution to the Gaza crisis.
The agreement is conditional on Israel’s full withdrawal from Gaza, as stated by Hamas, according to Al Jazeera. This condition reflects the militant group’s concerns over security and territorial control. Meanwhile, Trump has expressed confidence in the deal, stating that Israel is “very happy” with the agreement, despite some skepticism from Israeli officials, as reported by The Hill.
The deal has raised questions about its implementation and long-term viability, with some analysts noting the lack of clarity on key details, according to The Nightly. The agreement comes amid ongoing tensions following the October 7 attack by Hamas on southern Israel, which resulted in the death of several Israeli soldiers, including Sgt. Maj. Bar Sivan, as reported by the Times of Israel.
