Trump's Gaza Deal: Hamas to Disarm, Israel to Withdraw

On August 1, 2026, a U.S.-brokered agreement, referred to as the Board of Peace, was announced, under which Hamas would disarm and Israel would withdraw from Gaza. Both sides are hesitant to make the first move, and the deal has sparked mixed reactions. The UK welcomed the announcement, while Egyptian media criticized it as a peace that Israel does not want. Analysts note the deal could create political trouble for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, and an unidentified power broker has emerged as a key figure in the negotiations.
