Two-Week Gaza Ceasefire Opens Window for Hamas Disarmament

A two-week ceasefire is in place to finalize how Hamas will begin disarming under the Board of Peace roadmap, according to diplomatic sources. The framework places faction weapons in storage under vetted Gaza police with oversight from an international force. Israel will remain on the Yellow Line until Hamas is fully disarmed, and Israeli fire is to halt once the process begins. Hamas says it will not disarm before Israeli withdrawal and is also demanding guarantees for Palestinian statehood, leaving the sequence disputed even as the implementation window opens.
