NYT: Peace Council Removes Hamas Arms Clause

A report by The New York Times revealed that the International Peace Council removed certain clauses from the ceasefire agreement in Gaza related to Hamas not possessing weapons. This change came after discussions with Hamas leaders and under pressure from Israel. The final agreement states that Hamas will confine and store its heavy weapons under the supervision of a Palestinian committee supported by the United States, without specifying a timeline for weapon withdrawal or any implementation steps on the Israeli side. Additionally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu halted attacks on Gaza following pressure from the Peace Council, as negotiations between the two sides are ongoing.
