Trump Says Deal Reached To Disarm Hamas, Israeli Support For Plan Remains Uncertain

HuffPost (Reuters wire) · back to the audit

U.S. President Donald Trump said talks in Cairo between mediators and Hamas leaders on Thursday have led to a phased disarmament agreement in Gaza, but a Hamas official described the deal as a draft and U.S. officials said Israel was skeptical the militant Palestinian group would surrender its weapons. 'Israel demands the complete disarmament of Hamas, including the removal of weapons from Gaza and the complete demilitarization of the Strip as a precondition for any process,' the official said earlier on Thursday. 'The 15-point document in question does not provide a satisfactory response to these demands and Israel conveyed its objections.' A Board of Peace official gave an estimate of 200 to 320 days, but a U.S. official played down that timeline. 'This isn't really a trust deal,' a U.S. official said on Thursday, calling the agreement a 'conditions-based deal.'
