Hamas official Ghazi Hamad emphasized that the group will not disarm until Israel ceases its military actions in Gaza, increases humanitarian aid, and withdraws its forces, as stipulated in a prior ceasefire agreement. President Trump claimed that the U.S.-led Board of Peace has reached an agreement to disarm Hamas, which he described as a monumental step towards peace and security.
The proposed plan includes the establishment of an International Stabilization Force and a new Palestinian police force to maintain order in the region. However, the disarmament of Hamas has been a major hurdle in the ongoing U.S.-brokered ceasefire negotiations, which also involve plans for Gaza's reconstruction.
Talks have faced delays due to Hamas's insistence on linking disarmament to broader issues, including the pursuit of Palestinian statehood. The roadmap discussed in Cairo aims to consolidate authority under a U.S.-backed committee, emphasizing a unified governance structure and the dismantling of military capabilities.
As of now, Israel has not publicly responded to Trump's claims, and the situation remains fluid with potential implications for regional stability and international relations
