Trump presses Israel to accept deal with Hamas
AI disclosure
Summary
US President Donald Trump announced late Thursday that Hamas had agreed to disarm, a key next step in the US-brokered peace plan for the enclave that has been hailed as a potential breakthrough in Gaza. But while Trump says Israel is “very happy” with the agreement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to publicly endorse it. Israeli sources say there will be no withdrawal of Israeli forces without genuine disarmament, while Hamas insists Israel must withdraw first before it will lay down its weapons. Charlotte Lam brings us reaction to the latest developments from people in both Gaza and Israel.
