Netanyahu presses role for US general in Hamas disarmament

Netanyahu and US envoy Jared Kushner agreed that Hamas would hand over its weapons under the supervision of an American general.

Donald Trump said in late July that a deal was reached for the complete disarmament ‌of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and envoy Jared Kushner on Monday agreed that the Gaza Strip’s “demilitarization” should start with a Hamas weapons handover supervised by an American military general, according to a senior Israeli official.
