The conflict in Palestine might be on its way to resolution as Hamas has agreed to a United States-led disarmament plan where the State of Israel will also withdraw its forces from Gaza.
US President Donald Trump, who announced the deal on Thursday acknowledged that many hurdles, conditions and long timelines remained to deescalate the war in the Palestinian territory.
According to AP, the White House announcement comes nine months after a ceasefire brokered by Washington was signed.
Lately, the negotiations between Israel and Hamas had failed to progress over the implementation of its second phase which included the disarmament of Hamas and the reconstruction of Gaza.
President Trump said the agreement will be carried out in carefully structured phases.
He added that Israel's withdrawal of its forces would follow the complete disarmament of Hamas subsequent upon which the international Stabilization Force will take over Gaza.
“As disarmament is completed, Israeli forces will withdraw, and the International Stabilization Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to take responsibility for Gaza being safe for its residents and its neighbours.”
AP stressed that Trump’s 20-point ceasefire plan sought the surrender of the militant group's weapons and destruction of its vast network of tunnels.
The plan also also stipulates withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, the arrival of a new technocratic Palestinian government, deployment of an international security force and the rebuilding of the battered Palestinian enclave.
The Israeli Government has not responded to the deal as at Friday morning, and the involvement of its officials in the Hamas disarmament deal was unclear.
Meanwhile, a Hamas official reportedly insisted on the withdrawal of Israeli forces before Hamas could proceed to lay down their arms.
