President Donald Trump Announces Historic Agreement to Secure the Disarmament of Hamas in Gaza
The administration announced a historic agreement to secure the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. This milestone is a critical step in implementing the multi-phase peace plan to end the war in the enclave. While Hamas has agreed to the terms, the deal is contingent upon Israel upholding its obligations, including a withdrawal of troops to the so-called yellow line and a surge of humanitarian aid. Simultaneously, the US-Iran conflict continues to expand geographically. Iran recently targeted strategic US military facilities at Kuwait’s Ahmad Al-Jaber airbase in a drone attack, which it described as retaliation for recent US strikes on Qeshm island. The administration also imposed sanctions on two Iranian firms accused of supporting a protection racket in the Strait of Hormuz. As the conflict persists, oil prices have shown volatility, and the administration is seeking to manage the maritime risks and regional stability. President Trump will gather his Cabinet officials today at Camp David for a high-stakes meeting to address these ongoing developments.
