CAIRO, July 31 - Implementation of the deal to bring peace to Gaza announced by U.S. President Donald Trump will depend on Israel first meeting its commitments under an agreement reached last year, a senior Hamas official told Reuters on Friday.

The second phase of Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan for Gaza,  was Hamas's disarmament and a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territory.

Hamas has said it agreed to a deal to end the war with Israel that included provisions addressing its weapons and the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
