Trump Announces Deal for 'Complete Disarmament' of Hamas

NOTUS · back to the audit

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday an agreement for the 'complete disarmament' of Hamas militants in Gaza — what he called a 'monumental step' toward ending conflict in the region. Israel and Hamas have not commented on the announcement, and it remains unclear if or how either party plans to honor the disarmament. The U.S. has been in close coordination with Israel 'every step of the way,' administration and Board of Peace officials said Thursday, though Israel remains 'very skeptical that Hamas will disarm.' 'Hamas and factions will hand over their weapons to the NCAG and to the NCAG police forces, who will be responsible for collecting them, itemizing them and effectively controlling them,' the officials said. The timetable for the phased withdrawal of Israeli forces still needs to be finalized, the officials said.
