President Trump announced that the Board of Peace reached an agreement calling for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, to occur in phases alongside a gradual Israeli withdrawal. Hamas officials said they would not carry out disarmament until Israeli forces withdraw from Gaza and reconstruction progresses, while Israel signaled skepticism, saying it would not take part in the disarmament process itself and would not act until Israeli withdrawal terms were met. The announcement builds on the ceasefire Trump brokered in October, though implementation of the disarmament plan remains unconfirmed by both sides.
Left outlets (Al Jazeera, NBC, Guardian, NYT) emphasize the uncertainty and contested nature of the deal, foregrounding Israeli rejection/skepticism, Hamas's conditionality on Israeli withdrawal, ongoing Israeli strikes and Palestinian casualties, and describe the broader war using stronger language (e.g., 'genocidal war'), framing the announcement as tentative and contested rather than settled.
Center outlets (France 24, BBC, Axios, The Hill, DW) report Trump's announcement of a disarmament deal alongside Hamas's caveats and Israeli skepticism, providing detailed process mechanics (phases, timelines, NCAG, verification) and Gaza casualty tolls from the ceasefire period, framing the story as a significant but fragile step with implementation hurdles.
Right outlets (Daily Wire, Fox News) center Trump's framing of the deal as a 'historic' and 'monumental' achievement, quoting Trump and the Board of Peace's celebratory statements at length, emphasizing the diplomatic breakthrough and Trump's role, with less emphasis on Israeli skepticism or Palestinian casualty figures compared to left-leaning outlets.
