Hamas agrees to disarm under US-backed plan, Israel's approval pending
Hamas announced it has agreed to surrender its weapons to a Palestinian governing committee as part of a US-backed roadmap. This plan reportedly includes a gradual Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. However, Israel has stated it will not withdraw until Hamas is fully disarmed, and a Hamas official indicated Israel must approve the disarmament agreement before implementation. Reports suggest a deal for Hamas to disarm has been announced, but Israel has not yet agreed to the plan for Hamas to surrender weapons in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal.
