Informed sources revealed to "Reuters" that the American Peace Council has submitted a written proposal to Hamas regarding its disarmament, as part of efforts led by President Donald Trump to present a future plan for the reconstruction of Gaza after years of conflict.
Details of the Proposal and Cairo Meetings
The sources reported that the proposal was presented to Hamas during meetings held last week in Cairo, attended by:
Nikolai Mladenov: the Peace Council's envoy to Gaza and a Trump nominee.
Trump's plan, which was approved by Israel and Hamas last October, calls for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territory and the commencement of reconstruction on the condition that Hamas lays down its arms.
Reconstruction and Relief Efforts
Mladenov clarified that there are serious efforts to provide aid and reconstruction in Gaza, with a framework agreed upon by mediators to push the process forward, especially after the significant destruction caused by the war in the territory.
He wrote on the "X" platform on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr:
"The matter is now on the table and requires one clear choice: Hamas and all armed groups must completely abandon their weapons, without any exceptions. We hope that the officials will make the best choice for the Palestinian people."
Hamas's Response and Suspension of Talks
So far, Hamas has not issued any response to the submitted proposal. It is noteworthy that discussions regarding disarmament were halted with the onset of the American-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28, 2026, which temporarily suspended peace efforts.
