Hamas says it has agreed to a Gaza peace arrangement that links the group’s disarmament to a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip. Multiple outlets report Hamas confirmed the agreement as efforts continue to end the war. The reported terms include provisions addressing Hamas weapons and a phased reduction of Israeli troop presence in Gaza.
One outlet notes that disarmament has been a key sticking point in progressing ceasefire and end-of-war discussions, with the current ceasefire in Gaza described as having been in place since October. Another source reports the arrangement was announced by US President Donald Trump, who characterised it as requiring “complete disarmament” by Hamas and as a step toward a new Palestinian governing structure in Gaza.
Israel’s position is not presented as settled in the reporting. One account says Israel did not immediately comment on Hamas’s announcement, and a prior Israeli political source told AFP that the proposed framework did not fully meet Israel’s demands for demilitarisation of the Gaza Strip. Details of timing, implementation, and verification are not agreed or elaborated across the sources.
