Trump touts Gaza ceasefire plan as Hamas disarmament timing sparks contention
President Trump says a Gaza ceasefire deal has been reached that would disarm Hamas and withdraw Israeli forces in phased steps overseen by an international stabilization force, but Hamas and Israeli officials dispute the sequencing (disarmament before or after withdrawal). The report also notes Iran's drone strikes on US facilities in Kuwait as part of escalating tensions, with Saudi plans against the Houthis and ongoing regional shipping and oil market developments.
