Hamas claims weapons agreement under Trump plan, Israel has not responded

U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that a new agreement will bring a complete disarmament of all armed groups in the Gaza Strip, suggesting that the deal could finally neutralise Hamas. Trump’s statement, made to a press briefing, frames the initiative as a decisive step toward ending hostilities in the region.

According to the Associated Press, Hamas officials confirmed that they have reached a deal covering the removal of weapons and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. However, no formal announcement has yet come from Israel, leaving the details of the agreement and its implementation unclear. The lack of an Israeli statement means the deal’s practical application remains uncertain, and observers note that announcing a settlement is only the first step in a complex diplomatic process.

As the situation develops, the international community will be watching for official confirmation from Israel and for the practical measures that will follow the announced disarmament. The outcome of this initiative could reshape the security dynamics in the Gaza Strip, but its success will depend on the subsequent actions of all parties involved.
