TL;DR

Egypt has proposed to Hamas that the organization hand over its weapons as a deposit to advance the Trump plan, according to a report by Kan, the Israeli public broadcaster. The specific terms of the deposit arrangement have not been detailed.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Kan, the Israeli public broadcaster, reports that Egypt has proposed to Hamas that the organization hand over its weapons as a 'deposit' to advance the Trump plan. The specific terms of the deposit arrangement have not been disclosed.

The proposal is the latest diplomatic move in the ongoing effort to implement the Trump administration's plan for Gaza. As The Zioneer reported on June 19, Hamas had received a revised weapons-disposal plan backed by US envoys Witkoff and Kushner, which outlined a phased mechanism for concentrating and storing weapons under international supervision. On June 17, the US sent a draft proposal to Israel, according to President Trump.

It remains unclear how Hamas will respond to the Egyptian deposit proposal. The organization has previously resisted disarmament demands, and the Trump plan has been a subject of controversy, with Israeli officials expressing concern and reports of parallel US-Iran negotiations.
