US President Donald Trump has announced what he described as a “historic” agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, marking what he called a major milestone in his Gaza peace initiative.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Hamas has acknowledged progress and agreed to a roadmap in principle, Israeli officials have expressed reservations, saying the proposal does not fully meet Israel’s security demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that talks in Cairo between mediators and Hamas leaders had resulted in an agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post on Truth Social, Trump described the deal as a “historic” and “monumental step toward lasting peace and security,” saying the disarmament would take place in carefully structured phases under his broader 20-point Gaza peace plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump said the agreement would pave the way for Gaza to be governed by a new Palestinian administration working closely with the Board of Peace, the multinational body he established to oversee governance, humanitarian relief, reconstruction and economic recovery in the enclave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
