Trump Announces Gaza Disarmament Deal
President Trump announced a plan to stop Hamas from having weapons in Gaza.
The plan will let Israel leave Gaza in steps and put a new police force there.
Hamas said they will only give up weapons after Israel leaves.
Israel is not sure Hamas will follow the plan.
The plan could take a few months to finish, and fighting is still happening in Gaza.
Hamas and Israel have different ideas about when and how to give up weapons.
Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey helped with the talks.
Many people have been hurt in the fighting, and the situation is still not peaceful.
Trump announced a phased agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza.
The deal would see Israeli forces withdraw in stages, with an International Stabilization Force and a new Palestinian police force taking security responsibilities.
Hamas officials describe the agreement as a draft and insist Israel must withdraw before disarmament.
Israeli officials remain skeptical, insisting that full disarmament and demilitarization of Gaza are prerequisites for any political process.
The timeline for disarmament is uncertain, with estimates ranging from 200 to 350 days, and violence continues in Gaza despite the ceasefire.
