The United States announced that it has created a potential pathway for resolving the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This development involves a proposed agreement where Hamas would disarm in the Gaza Strip. In return, there would be a phased Israeli withdrawal from the area. The announcement was made by U.S. officials on Thursday.

Neither Hamas nor Israel have immediately confirmed their participation or agreement with this proposed plan. The arrangement aims to bring an end to nearly three years of conflict affecting the region.
