us general to verify hamas disarmament in agreement between kushner and netanyahu

American envoy Jared Kushner and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reached an agreement in Jerusalem establishing that a United States general will supervise and verify the disarmament of Hamas in Gaza. Following high-level discussions between the Israeli leadership and representatives from the Board of Peace, both parties concurred that the primary step toward regional demilitarization requires Hamas to relinquish its weapons for decommissioning under American military oversight.

Subsequently, Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated that Israel will not execute any military troop withdrawals or allow reconstruction efforts in Gaza to proceed until the disarmament process is fully verified throughout the territory.

Meanwhile, two joint working groups were established to formulate specific mechanisms for the prompt execution of these security parameters before rebuilding efforts can commence. Kushner met with Hamas political leadership in Egypt prior to the Jerusalem summit, securing their initial commitment to the broader roadmap while acknowledging that verifying performance remains critical.

Furthermore, Israeli military officials emphasized that targeted security operations will continue to maintain stability while these verification frameworks are finalized. Consequently, the success of subsequent peace phases and international troop deployments remains dependent on Hamas completely fulfilling these weapons surrender terms under American supervision.
