Camp david: US President Donald Trump announced that pressure on Iran contributed to reaching an agreement to disarm Hamas, describing it as a "major breakthrough" that would have been impossible months ago. This announcement came during a cabinet meeting held at Camp David, underscoring the administration's foreign policy achievements.
According to National Iraqi News Agency, Trump explained that the agreement was reached through the International Peace Council. This development marks a significant step towards potential peace in the region, as Hamas agreed to hand over its heavy weapons on the condition that the Israeli army withdraws from the Gaza Strip. This condition could pave the way for ending the long-standing conflict, although observers highlight potential obstacles that might hinder the agreement's full implementation.
In contrast, the office of the Israeli Prime Minister stated firmly that there will be no withdrawal without the complete disarmament of Hamas. Additionally, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir expressed strong criticism of the draft agreement, labeling it unacceptable. This sentiment reflects the ongoing tension and complexities involved in reaching a sustainable peace agreement between the involved parties.
