A new proposal aimed at stabilizing the Gaza Strip suggests a three-year roadmap for the disarmament of Hamas. The plan, reportedly brokered by the United States, includes a 14-day window for both Hamas and Israel to finalize the terms of a political transition. According to France24, Hamas has confirmed its agreement to the deal, which is framed as a key condition for the second phase of a peace plan initiated by the U.S. administration.

However, the implementation of this roadmap faces significant hurdles. While international reports suggest a path toward disarmament, Hamas officials have publicly challenged the timeline and conditions. As reported by the Tehran Times, a senior Hamas representative stated that the group will not initiate any disarmament measures until Israeli forces have completely withdrawn from the Gaza Strip. This creates a clear point of contention regarding the sequence of events: whether disarmament should precede or follow the removal of Israeli military presence.

The proposal represents a complex diplomatic effort to transition Gaza toward a post-conflict political structure. The discrepancy between the reports of an agreed-upon deal and the stated conditions from Hamas leadership highlights the fragility of the negotiations. While the U.S.-backed framework sets a three-year horizon, the immediate political reality remains defined by mutual distrust and conflicting requirements for security and sovereignty.
