President Donald Trump announced a significant development on Thursday, stating that an agreement has been reached for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza.

Trump shared the news on his Truth Social platform, calling the disarmament a "monumental step toward lasting peace and security."

The U.S. president also highlighted that Israel will gain the security it deserves once Gaza is no longer used as a base for terror attacks.

This is a monumental step toward lasting peace and security.

While Hamas has not yet commented on the announcement, the disarmament of the group is a key component of a 20-point peace plan that laid the groundwork for the previous ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. According to Trump's statement, Israeli forces are set to withdraw from Gaza once the disarmament process is complete.
