Hamas Accepts Disarmament Plan Framework
window 24h
IN SHORT
Hamas has agreed to a framework for a disarmament plan, a development that could lead to an end to the war in Gaza. The plan, announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, involves phased disarmament and Israeli troop withdrawal. However, Hamas officials emphasize that their disarmament is contingent on Israel fulfilling prior agreements, including ending attacks, withdrawing forces, and increasing aid to Gaza. Hamas also announced it would transfer weapons management to a Palestinian committee, the National Committee for Administration of Gaza (NCAG), provided Israeli withdrawal and increased aid occur. Tensions between Iran and the U.S. are rising amid these developments.
