Trump announced a historic agreement for Hamas to disarm in Gaza, contingent on Israel meeting specific obligations, amid ongoing regional tensions and international cautious optimism. The deal, which Trump described as a major step toward peace, includes Hamas agreeing to the next phase of a Gaza peace deal, including disarmament, negotiated by a "Board of Peace." The agreement was announced during a live update session, with Trump holding a Cabinet meeting at Camp David.
According to CBS News, the deal was reached through the "Board of Peace," a group Trump claims has been working to resolve the conflict. However, analysts caution that the agreement may not mark true peace, as key issues such as the order of disarmament and withdrawal remain unresolved. The White House did not immediately release full details of the agreement, leaving many questions unanswered.
The announcement was met with mixed reactions. While some international observers expressed cautious optimism, others warned that the agreement may not address the deeper issues dividing Israel and Hamas. Trump emphasized the importance of the deal, calling it a significant achievement in the Middle East. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing tensions and uncertainty about the long-term implications of the agreement.
