U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff has sparked controversy after claiming Hamas privately agreed to disarm ahead of the October 9 ceasefire. Witkoff said the group told him and Jared Kushner it would surrender weapons under a U.S.-backed demilitarization and jobs plan for Gaza. Hamas publicly denies such intent, though Arab diplomats suggest partial disarmament remains possible. Witkoff added that Washington is forming a decommissioning force and pressing Israel to allow safe passage for trapped Hamas fighters in Rafah. <br /> <br />#Hamas #GazaCeasefire #TrumpPeacePlan #SteveWitkoff #JaredKushner #MiddleEastPeace #BreakingNews #GazaWar #HamasDisarmament #Israel #RafahTunnels #USDiplomacy #CeasefireDeal #TrumpAdministration #MideastTalks #Palestine #IsraelHamas #PeaceNegotiations #HamasWeapons #GazaUpdate #InternationalForce #Demilitarization #GazaReconstruction #USEnvoy #MiddleEastUpdate #TrumpDeal #PeaceEfforts #HamasCeasefire #RafahPlan #USMediation #GazaCrisis<br /><br />~ED.194~HT.408~GR.124~
