GAZA, Senior Hamas officials have claimed that an agreement has been reached to end the Gaza conflict, stating that a newly established National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) will supervise the inventory and storage of the group’s weapons as part of the implementation process.
The comments came after US President Donald Trump announced that Hamas had agreed to a plan for the complete disarmament of armed groups in Gaza. However, Israeli officials have previously indicated that significant differences remain regarding the proposed framework.
Hamas Details Agreement
Speaking anonymously to AFP, two senior Hamas officials said the agreement covers both the future handling of weapons and a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.
One official said the agreement includes arrangements concerning Hamas’s weapons as well as a gradual Israeli military withdrawal.
According to the officials, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) expects international mediators and the Peace Board to ensure Israel fulfills its obligations under the agreement.

Neither Israeli authorities nor the mediating countries have publicly confirmed Hamas’s latest description of the agreement.
