GAZA CITY, GAZA - JULY 2: A displaced Palestinian girl stands atop buildings destroyed by Israeli airstrikes on July 2, 2026 in Gaza City, Gaza. One thousand days have passed since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel that sparked a brutal campaign of retribution across the Gaza Strip. A ceasefire was agreed to between Israel and Hamas last October, but Israel has continued periodic bombing in the territory. (Photo by Ahmad Hasaballah/Getty Images)

VIDEO: Hamas has confirmed that it will disarm as part of a deal announced by U.S. President Donald Trump that also requires Israel to end its strikes and withdraw from Gaza. It marks a potential breakthrough in ending the war, but implementation faces major challenges. Hamas also said that laying down its heavy weapons, which would come later in the process, was contingent on the creation of a Palestinian state, something Israel’s current government adamantly rejects.
