Trump Announces Historic Agreement for Total Hamas Disarmament in Gaza

The Palestinian group confirmed the deal, which involves the disarmament of Hamas and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, according to reports from the BBC and El Comercio Perú.

The announcement describes the pact as a “historic” agreement between Hamas and Israel, as reported by DW. While the BBC and other outlets noted the group’s confirmation of the terms, CNN en Español reported that at one point during the announcement process, the group had not yet responded to specific claims regarding the complete disarmament.

Hamas Disarmament and Israeli Withdrawal Terms

The core of the agreement centers on the “complete disarmament” of Hamas, according to Donald Trump. This process would see the Palestinian militant group relinquish its weaponry and military infrastructure within the Gaza Strip.

In exchange for this disarmament, the agreement includes the withdrawal of Israeli military forces from the territory. Officials from Hamas confirmed these specific components—the disarmament and the Israeli retreat—as part of the negotiated terms, according to El Comercio Perú.

Variations in Initial Reporting

The BBC and El Comercio Perú stated that Hamas confirmed the agreement for disarmament and withdrawal.

Conversely, CNN en Español reported that despite the announcement by Donald Trump regarding “complete disarmament,” the group had not yet responded to those specific claims. This discrepancy highlights a window of time between the public announcement by the U.S. side and the official confirmation from the Palestinian group.

DW characterized the development as a “historic” agreement, focusing on the scale of the diplomatic shift required to secure the total disarmament of a governing militant entity in Gaza.
