Trump announces Hamas to disarm paving way for Israel to withdraw from Gaza

What the report says

Al Jazeera reported on July 30, 2026, that US President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that an agreement had been reached for Hamas to fully disarm. According to the report, Trump presented the step as clearing the way for Israel to withdraw from Gaza and for an international stabilisation force to be deployed there.

The report noted an important caveat: neither Israel nor Hamas had publicly confirmed the agreement at the time of publication. That lack of confirmation leaves key details unresolved, including who would verify any disarmament, how an Israeli withdrawal would be sequenced, what countries or institutions would take part in a stabilisation force, and what authority such a force would operate under.

If confirmed, the announcement would mark a potentially major development in efforts to end or reshape the Gaza conflict, because Hamas’s weapons, Israel’s security demands, and the future governance of Gaza have been central obstacles in diplomacy. Disarmament has long been one of the most difficult issues in any proposed postwar arrangement, while international involvement in Gaza would require broad political, legal and security coordination.

For now, the development should be treated as an unverified announcement from the US president, as reported by Al Jazeera. Further confirmation from the parties directly involved, and details on implementation, would be needed before the reported agreement’s scope or viability can be assessed.
