Hamas has agreed to disarm as part of a deal brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump, which also requires Israel to end its strikes and withdraw from Gaza, according to multiple reports. The agreement, which Hamas described as conditional on Israel’s full withdrawal, was announced amid ongoing tensions in the region. UN Secretary-General António Guterres praised the deal as “good news,” highlighting its potential to reduce hostilities (aljazeera.com).
The deal, which involves the involvement of mediators and the Board of Peace, aims to ensure compliance from both sides. The United States has assured Hamas it will monitor Israel’s adherence to the terms, including the withdrawal from Gaza, according to a report from the Daily Post (dailypost.ng). Meanwhile, Trump expressed satisfaction with Israel’s stance, stating the country is “very happy” with the agreement, despite some skepticism about its implementation (thehill.com).
The agreement marks a significant shift in the conflict, though challenges remain in ensuring full compliance. Hamas has indicated it will begin disarming as part of the process, while Israel’s actions will be closely watched by international observers. The deal underscores the complex diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation in Gaza.
