A Trump envoy says Hamas disarmament could begin within 30 days, following Hamas’s stated pledge to hand over its weapons to a new Palestinian governing body. The proposal is presented as a potential step toward a wider arrangement, but it also faces skepticism from Israeli leadership.
According to reports, US efforts continue alongside discussions between Jared Kushner and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. An Israeli official says Netanyahu and Kushner agree that an American general would verify Hamas’s disarmament. Netanyahu also insists there is no Israeli withdrawal from Gaza until disarmament is verified.
Outlets broadly agree on the central timeline and the verification concept, though they differ in emphasis. NDTV highlights Trump’s view of the plan as a breakthrough and notes Netanyahu’s skepticism. The Hindu and Free Malaysia Today focus more on Kushner’s meeting with Netanyahu and the practical conditions tied to verification and Israeli withdrawal.
