00:00US President Donald Trump says mediators have reached a phased agreement for Hamas to disarm in Gaza.
00:07But the claim has already faced pushback.
00:10Hamas described the agreement as only a draft,
00:13saying the group would not take any disarmament steps before an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
00:19Israel, meanwhile, has insisted that Hamas must surrender its weapons
00:23and that Gaza must be fully demilitarized before any future process can move forward.
00:29In a social media post, Trump said the Board of Peace had reached a historic agreement
00:34that would pave the way for a new Palestinian government to govern the territory and work with the board.
00:41Now, under the proposed arrangement, disarmament would take place in phases
00:46followed by an Israeli withdrawal and the deployment of an international stabilization force
00:51working with a new Palestinian police force.
00:54But major questions remain, including whether the terms can be accepted by both sides,
01:00who will govern Gaza after the war and how the transition will be managed.
01:05The Board of Peace has not set a clear timeline,
01:08with one official estimating the process could take between 200 and 320 days.
