Hamas factions finalize Gaza deal awaiting Israel approval
The Hamas movement and Palestinian factions have reached an agreement on the terms of the second phase of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, pending official approval from Israel for the final announcement. The understandings include confining and storing heavy weapons within Gaza through a Palestinian–Palestinian process lasting 14 days. This step is linked to Israel's gradual withdrawal from areas under its control, in exchange for deploying an international peacekeeping force to monitor the weapons storage process. The agreements also encompass dismantling armed groups affiliated with Israel and tying the surrender of weapons to a halt in military operations, with the Israeli side required to fulfill its commitments before moving on to security and administrative arrangements. Israeli reluctance remains a major obstacle, as Israel demands the immediate and total disarmament, and disagreements persist over implementation mechanisms and the sequencing of steps. The parties are awaiting Israel's response to move forward.
