Palestine situation Trump: Agreement reached on Gaza disarmament

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a significant development regarding the Gaza conflict, stating that his self-established peace council has secured an agreement for the disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in the Gaza Strip. Trump made the announcement on his social media platform, Truth Social.

Trump characterized the agreement as a "monumental step towards lasting PEACE and SECURITY." He further stated that this is a critical move toward establishing a new Palestinian government that will collaborate with his peace council to aid the Palestinian people. This development is presented as a key milestone in the implementation of Trump's 20-point plan.

The agreement is set to be executed in carefully structured phases. Following the completion of disarmament, Israeli forces are expected to withdraw from Gaza. Subsequently, international forces will work alongside a new Palestinian police force to assume responsibility for security in Gaza, benefiting both its residents and neighboring areas. Trump extended his gratitude to Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey for their roles as mediators in the negotiations.

However, the report notes that U.S. officials cited by Reuters expressed skepticism regarding Israel's belief that Hamas would actually disarm. This suggests potential challenges or doubts about the full implementation of the agreement on the ground.

The announcement comes amid ongoing efforts to de-escalate tensions and find a resolution to the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The specifics of the disarmament process and the roles of the various international actors involved remain to be detailed.
