According to Amit Segal (N12), the emerging disarmament agreement covers all weapons — police, light, heavy, tunnels, storage, and production sites — with a Palestinian committee holding final control. No withdrawal from the original ceasefire line without full demilitarization. Hamas commits to cease all military activity in parallel to a cessation of targeted killings, with an alternative allowing Israel to act against emerging threats, and weapons handover is to begin within weeks under multinational guard.
According to a detailed report by Amit Segal (N12) on Thursday afternoon, the emerging disarmament agreement between Hamas and mediators contains comprehensive terms covering all weapons categories. The agreement includes police weapons, light and heavy arms, tunnels, weapons storage facilities, and production sites. At the end of the process, only a Palestinian committee will be authorized to store, hold, or control weapons in the Gaza Strip. The agreement stipulates that there will be no withdrawal from the original ceasefire line ('yellow line') without full demilitarization.
Hamas commits to cease all military activity, including buildup and recruitment of operatives, in parallel with a cessation of Israeli targeted killings. An alternative formulation reportedly allows Israel to act against 'emerging threats.' The handover of weapons is to begin within weeks, with the weapons stored and decommissioned in warehouses guarded by multinational forces.
The report is the most detailed account yet of the agreement, which follows weeks of intensive diplomacy. Earlier Thursday, The Zioneer reported (14:39) that the emerging deal would see Hamas store its weapons under an agreed mechanism, and subsequently (14:48) that Israel and Hamas were progressing toward Phase 2 understanding on disarmament. At 13:42, US and Israeli sources said Hamas was close to announcing disarmament. The current report by Segal provides the specific terms that have been negotiated.
The agreement is part of a broader diplomatic effort led by the Trump administration, with Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey serving as mediators. The terms represent a significant concession by Hamas, which had previously insisted on defining its weapons as 'legitimate resistance tools.' The implementation timeline and verification mechanisms remain to be spelled out, but the agreement signals a major shift in the security architecture of the Gaza Strip.
