Trump Envoy Says Hamas Disarmament Could Begin Within 30 Days

Trump Envoy Says Hamas Disarmament Could Begin Within 30 Days
'Within 30 days': Trump top envoy Jared Kushner gives timeline for Hamas disarmament in Gaza · wionews.com

Jared Kushner is a helper to the President of the United States, and he went to talk to leaders in Israel and Egypt about stopping a war in a place called Gaza.

He said that within about 30 days, we might start seeing the fighters of a group called Hamas give up their weapons.

Hamas is a group that attacked Israel, and that is how the war started.

The plan is to collect the weapons and make sure they can never be used again, and even fill in tunnels.

An American general would check that Hamas really gives up its weapons.

Israel's leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, says Israel will not leave Gaza until Hamas gives up all its weapons.

Hamas says it agrees to the plan and wants people to put pressure on Netanyahu.

Some people in Israel, like a minister named Itamar Ben Gvir, think Israel should be much tougher and hurt more people in Gaza.

Other leaders, like Israel's president, hope the plan will bring a safer future.

Many people have been hurt in this war, and everyone is hoping the plan will help.
