Hamas says it is prepared to begin disarming under a proposed agreement announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, provided Israel ends its military operations and fully withdraws from the Gaza Strip.
According to Hamas, the proposal also requires progress toward the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, describing that condition as essential to any long-term political settlement.
The announcement marks one of the clearest public indications that Hamas is willing to discuss disarmament, although only under specific political and security guarantees.
Israel has not officially commented on the latest proposal. However, the current Israeli government has consistently rejected the creation of a Palestinian state as part of any future agreement.
The proposed framework is linked to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire initiative first announced last October, which aims to end hostilities and create conditions for a broader political settlement.
Regional mediators continue working with both sides to bridge remaining differences, while international leaders have renewed calls for a lasting ceasefire and expanded humanitarian access for civilians in Gaza.
Despite the diplomatic developments, significant obstacles remain before any agreement can be implemented, leaving the future of the proposal uncertain.
