Hamas has made the handover of its weapons conditional on a prior withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and on Israel endorsing the text of the deal, which Israel has not publicly confirmed. The agreement, presented by Donald Trump on Thursday 30 July 2026 as a "historic breakthrough", provides for Hamas weapons to be transferred to a Palestinian national committee and for a detailed roadmap to be drawn up within 14 days. Washington thanked Egypt, Qatar and Turkey for mediating, while Israeli officials rule out any withdrawal before disarmament has actually taken place. Fresh Israeli strikes hit Gaza after the deal was announced.
