Senior Hamas officials confirmed to the AFP news agency on Friday that an agreement has been reached with Israel to bring an end to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This development follows a statement made by U.S. President Donald Trump, who announced that a disarmament deal had been secured.

While the confirmation from Hamas officials aligns with the timeline provided by the U.S. administration, specific details regarding the implementation, timeline, or the exact terms of the disarmament remain limited. The announcement marks a significant potential shift in the status of the war, which has seen prolonged hostilities. At this stage, the reports rely on statements from Hamas leadership and the U.S. President, though official Israeli government commentary on the specific terms of the reported deal has not been extensively detailed in this initial report. The situation remains fluid as international observers wait for further clarification on how the disarmament process will be monitored and enforced on the ground.
