Israel has not yet responded to a proposed agreement put forward by former U.S. President Donald Trump, which aims to achieve the disarmament of Hamas alongside the withdrawal of Israeli forces. Trump announced the purported breakthrough on social media, describing the plan as a “monumental step toward ending the fighting” and emphasizing the “complete disarmament” of Hamas as a central element.

The proposed deal comes amid ongoing tensions and conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that controls the Gaza Strip. Israel has maintained that Hamas’s continued possession of weapons justifies its military operations and the gradual advancement of Israeli forces beyond the demarcation line established in a previous October agreement. Israeli officials have yet to publicly acknowledge or endorse the terms outlined by Trump.

Supporters of the plan view it as a potentially significant move toward resolving the long-standing hostilities, but key details and formal negotiations remain absent. Meanwhile, Israel continues to prioritize Hamas’s disarmament as a prerequisite for any lasting peace.

The situation remains fluid as both sides weigh the implications of the proposal and the conditions for de-escalation in the region.
