Trump Claims Hamas Agreed to Disarm, But Gaza Negotiations Remain Unresolved
US President Donald Trump said Hamas had agreed to disarm, but details from ongoing Gaza negotiations indicate that the issue remains unresolved.
The draft agreement under discussion reportedly focuses on a broader framework, including a ceasefire, Israeli withdrawal, reconstruction of Gaza, a future Palestinian administration and international oversight. Discussions about Hamas’ weapons are expected to be part of a later phase rather than an immediate unilateral disarmament.
Hamas leaders have said any discussion about its military capabilities depends on ending the war, a complete Israeli withdrawal and guarantees that commitments will be respected. Israel, meanwhile, has continued to demand Hamas disarm before major steps toward withdrawal.
With Israeli military operations continuing and no final ceasefire in place, analysts say Trump’s statement does not reflect a completed agreement but rather an ongoing dispute over the sequence and conditions of any future deal.
