Trump touts Gaza disarmament deal, Hamas demands Israeli troop withdrawal
U.S. President Donald Trump announced a "historic agreement" for the disarmament of Hamas and other militant organizations in Gaza, facilitated by the Board of Peace. Hamas acknowledged the deal but stated it would abandon weapons only if Israel withdraws its troops from Gaza and "stops killing Palestinians." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not immediately respond, but National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called the deal "unacceptable" and insisted on continued "assassinations in Gaza." The agreement is part of the "Trump 20-Point Plan" and aims for a new Palestinian government in Gaza and Israeli security.
