Gaza disarmament pact moves forward under international oversight

Hamas and other Palestinian factions reportedly approved a phased Gaza disarmament roadmap, with police weapons handed over first and heavy arms decommissioned under international verification by a National Committee; the plan links disarmament to Israeli withdrawal, reconstruction progress, and the formation of a new Palestinian government under the Board of Peace, with mediation by Egypt, Qatar and Türkiye. The deal has been framed by Trump as a monumental step toward peace, though some groups voiced reservations while fighting and other tensions persist.
