Donald Trump has announced a proposed agreement to disarm Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, describing it as a historic milestone for Israel’s security. The plan could form part of a wider post-war settlement, but it remains unclear whether Hamas has formally accepted or signed the arrangement.

The reported framework would require weapons to be surrendered in stages over six to eight months, alongside the disclosure of tunnels, weapons factories and depots. Verification of disarmament would be linked to a Palestinian technocratic administration taking control of areas and a phased Israeli withdrawal, with amnesty and financial support proposed for Hamas members who hand over weapons.
