US EditionHamas Official Says Disarmament ‘Out of the Question’
Hamas publicly refuses to disarm despite agreeing to release all hostages within 72 hours under a U.S.-brokered peace plan to end the Gaza war, officials said.
- This week, President Donald Trump secured a 'Phase One' peace deal to end the Gaza war, announced Wednesday with Sharm el-Sheikh photos; a ceasefire began Saturday morning and hostages may be freed within 72 hours, likely Monday.
- President Trump's 20-point plan required Hamas to lay down arms and leave Gaza's government, while the U.S. proposal offered amnesty and safe passage for fighters who disarm, but Hamas rejected demilitarization Friday.
- Israel insisted the agreement include the return of deceased hostages' bodies, while mediators including Qatar and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff were pictured in Sharm el-Sheikh as Qatar outlined implementation mechanisms.
- Israeli leaders celebrated the deal as a major victory, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying `With God's help, we will bring them all home`, while President Donald Trump will reportedly travel to Israel on Sunday to meet leaders and address the Knesset.
- Analysts warn further steps in the 20-point plan—including Gaza Strip governance and Hamas's fate—remain undiscussed, while aid risks diversion and private guarantees may hinder Israeli government enforcement.
