US crude oil is set to reach Israel for the first time in nearly three years, according to ship tracking data, as President Donald Trump announces a deal for Hamas to disarm in exchange for Israel's withdrawal from Gaza. The agreement, which Trump claims is a breakthrough, has raised questions about whether both sides will adhere to the terms (news.google.com).

Hamas has confirmed it will begin the disarmament process, but only if Israel halts all attacks in Gaza and fulfills the conditions of the first phase of a 2025 ceasefire deal (latimes.com). Israeli officials, however, insist that troops will not withdraw from Gaza without "genuine" Hamas disarmament, suggesting the deal remains uncertain (bbc.co.uk).

The New York Times reports that the deal has sparked doubts about the willingness of both Israel and Hamas to comply with the agreement, with concerns over enforcement and long-term stability (news.google.com). Meanwhile, the international community has expressed cautious optimism, with some nations hoping the deal could lead to a lasting peace (aljazeera.com).

Trump has emphasized that the agreement is a key part of his strategy to end the conflict, but the success of the plan will depend on the cooperation of both sides (independent.co.uk). The situation remains highly volatile, with ongoing tensions in the region.
