Trump Announces Historic Gaza Disarmament Deal
Hamas announced on Friday in Cairo that it has agreed in principle to a U.S.-backed road map to disarm in Gaza, according to a Hamas official and a regional official speaking to the Associated Press. The framework, confirmed in a statement on X by senior Hamas official Bassem Naim, requires Israel to end hostilities and withdraw its forces from the Palestinian territory in parallel. A 20‑point U.S. plan calls for Hamas to surrender weapons, dismantle tunnel networks, accept a technocratic Palestinian administration, and allow deployment of an International Stabilization Force. Local police arms would be handed to a U.S.-backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza as Israeli forces withdraw in phases.
