Israel, U.S. Give Hamas Two-Month Deadline to Disarm

Background

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Chief

(Worthy News) – Israel and the United States have agreed to give Hamas a two-month window to disarm, according to a report by Israel Hayom, following an overnight meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

Professional teams from both countries are currently working to define clear, mutually agreed criteria for what would constitute the practical disarmament of Hamas, including the dismantling of its military infrastructure. Israeli officials have expressed concern that Hamas may attempt to retain much of its existing weaponry and capabilities, a scenario both Jerusalem and Washington say would be unacceptable.

The agreement reportedly includes the full demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, with particular emphasis on the destruction of Hamas’ extensive underground tunnel network. If Hamas refuses to comply within the allotted timeframe—as many in Israel expect—responsibility for the next steps would revert to Israel and the Israel Defense Forces.

President Trump reinforced the warning publicly, stating that Hamas would be given only a “very short period of time to disarm.” Speaking alongside Netanyahu, Trump said that failure to do so would result in “hell to pay,” signaling firm U.S. backing for decisive action if the terror group does not comply.

The remarks came amid broader comments by Trump on regional security, including U.S. support for Israel against Iranian nuclear and missile ambitions, and assessments of shifting dynamics involving Turkey and Syria.
