Hamas says it’s reached an agreement to disarm, a significant move that will face major challenges

Hamas announced an agreement to disarm, contingent on Israel ending hostilities and withdrawing troops from Gaza. The deal, part of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire plan, includes phased steps for disarming Hamas, deploying a security force, and establishing a technocratic Palestinian government, though challenges remain due to stalled negotiations and Israel's refusal to withdraw before disarmament.
