US President Donald Trump has announced that his Board of Peace has reached a 'historic' agreement for the 'complete disarmament' of Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups in Gaza. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump described the deal as a 'monumental step toward lasting peace and security' and a 'major milestone' in implementing his 20-point plan to end the conflict in Gaza and rebuild the enclave.

The announcement comes after negotiators from mediating nations Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey met in Cairo on Thursday to discuss Hamas' disarmament. Senior Hamas officials confirmed to the AFP news agency on condition of anonymity that they had agreed to a deal to end the conflict with Israel, and said they expect the mediators to ensure Israel fulfills its part of the agreement. Israel has yet to comment on the announcements by Trump or by Hamas.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
