A draft plan, spearheaded by a U.S.-led team including Jared Kushner, proposes that Hamas surrender most of its weapons capable of striking Israel, but would initially be allowed to retain some small arms. The plan, intended to be shared with Hamas within weeks, is part of a broader effort to demilitarize the group, a key element of Trump's 20-point plan for Gaza following a two-year war and the basis of the cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas. The goal is to diminish Hamas's power in Gaza, though details regarding the handover of weapons and who would take ownership remain unclear. The Trump administration expects Hamas to disarm and implement the 20-point plan to advance stability and prosperity in Gaza.
