US announcement of Gaza disarmament deal faces skepticism

Skepticism surrounds a preliminary Gaza deal announced by Donald Trump regarding Hamas disarmament and an Israeli military withdrawal.
A preliminary agreement between Israel and Hamas, announced by Donald Trump, outlines the disarmament of the Palestinian militant group alongside a withdrawal of Israeli military forces from the Gaza Strip.
German politician Johann Wadephul welcomed the tentative deal, describing the potential de-escalation as a positive step. However, skepticism remains widespread regarding the feasibility and implementation of the proposed terms. Observers note that previous declarations from Washington concerning Middle East peace frameworks have often failed to produce tangible outcomes on the ground.
With key details remaining unclear, diplomats and analysts caution against treating the initial announcement as a definitive breakthrough in the conflict.
