Hamas Agrees to Disarm, Israel Stalls Withdrawal
Hamas said it will give up its weapons and let Israeli soldiers leave Gaza if a deal is followed.
The deal is still secret, so we don’t know all the details.
Israel has not said it will follow the deal yet.
A group of countries, like Egypt and the United States, will try to help make the plan work.
Both sides say they will only keep going if the other side does what they promised.
Hamas announced a deal to end the war that includes disarmament and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
The deal’s text is not public and Israel has not confirmed its acceptance.
Implementation depends on a National Committee for the Administration of Gaza and an International Stabilisation Force.
Mediators—Egypt, the United States, Qatar, and Turkey—will meet in Cairo to set a timetable and mechanisms.
Hamas will not proceed if Israel fails to implement the agreement, while Israeli sources say no withdrawal until disarmament.
