Hamas has announced that it has agreed to a proposed deal that would involve its disarmament in exchange for a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
According to statements released by mediators, the framework is intended to bring an end to hostilities and open a path toward reconstruction and governance in the territory. Under the terms discussed, Hamas would lay down its weapons and transfer security responsibilities, while Israel would begin a phased pullout of troops from Gaza and ease restrictions on the movement of people and goods.
The agreement was reached after weeks of indirect talks brokered by regional and international parties. Both sides described the proposal as difficult but necessary, citing the humanitarian toll and the urgent need to stabilize civilian life. The deal also includes provisions for the release of hostages and prisoners, the delivery of humanitarian aid at scale, and international oversight to monitor implementation.
Israeli officials said any withdrawal would be conditioned on verifiable steps toward disarmament and guarantees that attacks would not resume. Hamas leaders said the agreement reflects a commitment to ending the blockade and securing the right of Palestinians in Gaza to rebuild without military operations.
Reaction across the region has been cautious, with several countries welcoming the outline while urging both parties to move quickly to finalize details. If implemented, the deal would mark a major shift in the conflict and could allow aid agencies to expand operations, restore infrastructure, and begin long-term recovery efforts.
Negotiators said technical teams will now work to set timelines, verification mechanisms, and the sequence of withdrawals and disarmament, with the goal of putting the agreement into effect in the coming weeks.
