There was a time when Trump was hinting it might address lots of conflicts and be a sort of alternative measure.
UN, but that seems to have died down and it does seem to have focused since then on the Gaza ceasefire and in particular the main sticking point of the ceasefire up to now, which has been the issue of Hamas disarmament.
Israel has said that
Hamas has refused to disarm and then use that really as the justification to carry on bombing, to keep severe restrictions on the flow of aid going into Gaza and keep on moving their front lines forward.
But now they do seem to have come to an agreement about Hamas disarmament at the same time as the Israeli withdrawal.
But when is it going to happen?
When is it going to begin?
That's really unclear.
There's a two-week period now where a verification commission is going to be set up to make sure that everyone is abiding by the agreement.
But then there needs to be an entry into Gaza of a technocratic Palestinian administration, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza that's been waiting to take over for a long time.
But to move in, they also need a police force.
And that hasn't been properly trained yet.
And the police force needs the support of an international stabilization force.
And that hasn't begun arriving.
Yes.
I mean, what seems to be in the agreement is that there will be phased withdrawal in step with disarmament.
No one is going to do everything on their side before the other side does everything on theirs.
We've had various sorts of noises coming out of Hamas representatives.
But that seems to have been, this seems to be what's been agreed, that it will be phased withdrawal.
that there won't be any disarmament before or without a corresponding withdrawal.
