Trump says Board of Peace agrees on Hamas disarming

Deutsche Welle · back to the audit

US President Donald Trump has announced what he is calling a 'historic agreement' by his Board of Peace over the disarmament of Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip. Senior officials from Palestinian militant group Hamas have confirmed that they have agreed a deal to end the conflict with Israel. Speaking to the AFP news agency on condition of anonymity early Friday, two officials confirmed that they had come to an agreement. While Trump has touted an agreement, there has been no official confirmation from Israel or from any of the mediators, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey. But before Trump's announcement late on Thursday, an Israeli official had said a 15-point proposal that was being discussed by officials from mediators Egypt, Qatar and Turkey did not meet Israel's demands for the complete demilitarization of the Gaza Strip. The National Committee will be the sole entity authorised to retain, store, or control weapons in Gaza, a senior Hamas official to AFP said. Hamas has said its disarmament hinges on Israeli troops completely withdrawing from the enclave. Israel, on the other hand, insists that it will not withdraw beyond the so-called 'yellow line' before Hamas has completely disarmed.
