Gaza: Trump announces Hamas 'complete disarmament' deal as Israel expresses reservations
Donald Trump announced on July 31, 2026 a comprehensive 15-point agreement on complete disarmament of Hamas in Gaza within the framework of the Peace Council, an international organization created at Trump's initiative. Negotiated in Cairo with Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey as mediators, the plan requires Hamas to place its weapons under international supervision in exchange for a complete Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. Israel expressed reservations, with national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir declaring the process 'unacceptable.'
