Trump's Gaza Disarmament Framework Faces Rejection From Both Sides

Trump announced July 31 a phased deal: Hamas disarms, then Israel withdraws from Gaza. Hamas negotiator Ghazi Hamad rejected the sequence, saying disarmament won't precede Israeli withdrawal. An Israeli official told Reuters disarmament must come first as a precondition. Both sides dispute the order Trump's framework assumes, leaving the deal's core mechanism unsettled.
