US President Donald Trump said that the US-led Peace Council has reached an agreement on the “complete disarming” of Hamas and other armed groups in the Gaza Strip and placing the region under the administration of the new Palestinian government, marking a breakthrough in the implementation of its 20-point peace plan. “This is a landmark step towards lasting peace and security,” he said in a social media post Thursday evening. “Israel will get the security it deserves, and Gaza will no longer be used as a base for terrorist attacks.” Trump said the agreement will be implemented in stages, including the withdrawal of Israeli troops after Hamas completes its disarmament. He added that an international stabilization force would then cooperate with the new Palestinian police force to share responsibility for security in Gaza. US and Peace Council officials said that the details of the agreement will be further finalized in the next few weeks, and progress is expected within the next month or two.
