Israel has cleared an American company, acting for the Peace Council, to enter Gaza within days and begin mapping sites where Hamas can hand over rifles and combat equipment for destruction. The pilot zone will cover Rafah and Khan Yunis in the southern Strip, both under Israeli control. Weapons handover is a core stage of Trump's peace plan, which calls for Hamas to give up its arsenal and for Gaza to be demilitarized.
Jared Kushner and senior Peace Council officials met a Hamas delegation in Cairo, a source familiar with the details tells i24NEWS.

Jared Kushner and senior Peace Council officials met a Hamas delegation in Cairo, a source familiar with the details tells i24NEWS.
The aim: convert the road map into concrete, verifiable steps -- handing all governing powers to the National Committee for Gaza Management, keeping Hamas out of Gaza's future, dismantling weapons and military infrastructure, deploying the international stabilization force, allowing Israeli withdrawals, and speeding up aid and reconstruction.
The source: "There can be no room for ambiguity. Hamas must give up governing authority and all weapons and military infrastructure. Gaza can never again be a source of terror against Israel."
Islamic Jihad is rejecting the reported deal between Hamas and the Peace Council.
Overnight on its official Telegram: "The reports in the media about an agreement reached between the factions and the enemy are not accurate, and we disapprove of it in its current version being circulated."
Morocco has joined the International Stabilization Force (ISF), set to operate in the Gaza Strip under the "Peace Council." A signing ceremony was held in Rabat.
A U.S. demands document was recently passed to Israel, with Washington expecting written approval.
The paper reflects American eagerness to advance Trump's Gaza plan even without Hamas disarming, and little appetite for renewed fighting.
Israel is required to allow infrastructure, water and electricity works in defined zones, and to commit to relocating population from Hamas-controlled areas to areas under the Peace Council by the end of 2026.
