Hamas Agrees to Full Disarmament in Gaza, US Claims Deal

US President Donald Trump has said the Board of Peace has reached an agreement for the full disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza. A senior Hamas official also told the BBC that the organization has agreed to a plan to fully disarm in Gaza. According to him, a formal statement will be made public soon.

Israel has not yet publicly responded to the agreement. Trump said that the Israeli army would withdraw from Gaza as the disarmament process is completed. He called it a "significant step" towards ultimately establishing a new Palestinian government in Gaza.
