A deal brokered by Trump for Hamas to disarm and Israel to withdraw from Gaza has been reported, but both parties are hesitant to take the first step, according to The Washington Post. The Washington Post states that the deal involves Hamas disarming and Israel withdrawing, but the order of events is a point of contention. This development is significant as it potentially marks a step towards peace in the region.
The Times of Israel reports that Hamas is expected to start disarming in the coming days, while the IDF has already hit Gaza arms depots. However, Palestinians in Gaza fear that Israeli forces may not withdraw as agreed upon, as reported by apnews.com. The details of the deal, including the timeline and mechanisms for disarmament and withdrawal, are not fully clear from the available sources.
The deal is part of broader efforts to address the conflict in the region, with the US, Saudi Arabia, and other parties involved in various initiatives, including a potential Houthi offensive, according to Fox News.
