What does President Trump’s announced Gaza peace plan propose for disarming Hamas and stabilizing Gaza?
On social media, President Trump says a deal is reached to fully disarm Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza.

Provisions of the plan, he said, will result in a Palestinian government in control of Gaza with no harbor for terror groups. It would also, according to the plan, ensure security for Israel. The president said a phased implementation of his 20-point peace plan will commence with Hamas laying down arms, Israel withdrawing its troops, and Gaza patrolled by an international stabilization force working with Palestinian police. A Board of Peace official would only say the process would take some time to implement. Gernal Scott, Fox News.
