Peace Council urges Gaza withdrawal amid Hamas disarmament
The article concerns the United States' efforts to push for an Israeli withdrawal from parts of the Gaza Strip, along with steps by Hamas toward disarming and dismantling its military infrastructure as part of a future American roadmap. The plan includes the gradual surrender or deactivation of weapons under international supervision, in exchange for a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces and the deployment of an international force to support stability. It also emphasizes transferring governance of the sector to a technocratic Palestinian government, ending Hamas's role, and focusing on reconstruction and providing humanitarian aid. The article features meetings with Hamas leaders and American envoy Jared Kushner. The Israeli withdrawal plan faces a major obstacle in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's refusal to complete the withdrawal before Hamas is fully disarmed, amid American, Egyptian, Qatari, and Turkish efforts to salvage the next phase of the Gaza agreement.
