According to informed sources cited by reports, the UN's Nikolay Mladenov delivered a revised document to Hamas that outlines a phased mechanism for concentrating and storing weapons in Gaza alongside an Israeli withdrawal, under supervision of a Palestinian committee and international stabilization force. The sources say envoys Witkoff and Kushner back the revised text with guarantees on Israeli implementation of phase one commitments; Palestinian factions are expected to submit a final response in the coming days.
A new phase in the Gaza ceasefire and disarmament talks emerged Friday morning, as a revised proposal was reportedly handed to Hamas by UN envoy Nikolay Mladenov. The document — described by knowledgeable sources as a corrected version that incorporates Palestinian factions' earlier responses — outlines a staggered process: as Israeli forces withdraw to the Gaza border, weapons would be collected and stored under the authority of a Palestinian committee coordinating with an international stabilization force and a verification committee. Personal arms would remain under Palestinian law and licensing.
Mladenov reportedly informed Hamas leadership that US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner endorse the revised text and that it includes guarantees Israel will fully implement its phase-one commitments before the transition to phase two. Palestinian factions are expected to submit their final response in the coming days after completing internal consultations.
The proposal addresses a core obstacle that has stalled progress: the disarmament of armed groups in Gaza. As The Zioneer reported Thursday, separate tracks advanced through a Gaza 'Board of Peace' were moving forward without awaiting a Hamas response. This Mladenov-led track now places the question of sequencing — withdrawal vs. disarmament — squarely back on the table. The source material is from a single curated channel citing anonymous informed sources; no official confirmation from Hamas, Israel, or the UN has been published thus far. The reported backing by Witkoff and Kushner has not been independently corroborated.
