U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that a new agreement aimed at the “complete disarmament” of Hamas has been reached, describing it as a significant step toward ending years of conflict in the Gaza Strip and advancing long-term regional stability.
Speaking during a press briefing, Trump said the proposed agreement is designed to eliminate Hamas’ military capabilities while paving the way for a more secure future for both Israelis and Palestinians. He described the initiative as a breakthrough achieved through extensive diplomatic negotiations involving regional and international partners.
“The goal is complete disarmament. We want peace, security, and an end to violence,” Trump said, adding that the agreement represents one of the most significant efforts to resolve the conflict in recent years.
According to the U.S. administration, the deal outlines a phased process under which Hamas would surrender its weapons, dismantle military infrastructure, and halt all armed activities. In return, humanitarian assistance, reconstruction efforts, and governance arrangements for Gaza would be expanded under international oversight.
While specific details of the agreement have not yet been made public, officials indicated that multiple Middle Eastern countries played key roles in facilitating the negotiations. The United States is expected to work closely with regional allies to oversee the implementation of the proposed framework.
The Israeli government welcomed efforts aimed at eliminating security threats posed by Hamas but stressed that any agreement must guarantee the safety of Israeli citizens and ensure that Hamas can no longer launch attacks. Israeli officials said they would carefully examine the terms before making further commitments.
There has been no immediate confirmation from Hamas regarding Trump’s announcement. The Palestinian militant group has not publicly stated whether it accepts the proposed disarmament plan, and analysts note that previous attempts to negotiate similar arrangements have faced significant political and logistical challenges.
International leaders responded cautiously to the announcement, urging all parties to remain committed to dialogue and emphasizing that any lasting peace agreement must address humanitarian concerns, the release of hostages, reconstruction in Gaza, and broader political issues surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Political observers say the proposal could mark an important diplomatic development if implemented successfully. However, they also caution that achieving the complete disarmament of Hamas would require extensive international cooperation, robust verification mechanisms, and sustained political commitment from all sides.
The announcement comes amid continued international efforts to secure a lasting ceasefire in Gaza, facilitate humanitarian aid deliveries, and create conditions for a broader political settlement aimed at ending one of the region’s longest-running conflicts.
