'Longest Nightmare': Voices From Gaza as Hamas Agrees to Disarm

The plan calls for phased Israeli withdrawals, Hamas weapons storage and civilian rule by a Palestinian committee, while both sides dispute who must move first.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump announced a "historic" disarmament deal for Hamas in Gaza, calling it a "great breakthrough" involving phased IDF withdrawal and an International Stabilization Force to secure the enclave.
  • The roadmap, released Friday by Trump's Board of Peace, demands all factions implement the Sharm el Sheikh agreement, tasking the National Committee with overseeing storage of heavy weapons and tunnels.
  • Hamas rejected the proposal, demanding Israel first halt attacks and withdraw forces, while Gaza health authorities reported one Palestinian death in Israeli airstrikes within hours of the announcement.
  • National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir of the Jewish Power party declared the draft agreement "unacceptable" on Telegram, insisting Israel's assassination policy of Hamas leaders must continue.
  • Secretary General Antonio Guterres urged both sides to implement the roadmap "without any questions," though it remains unclear if Hamas or Israel will support the proposal amid deep-seated distrust.
