Hamas's armed wing stated it will not surrender its weapons as long as the occupation continues, a stance that complicates upcoming talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump. The leaders are scheduled to meet at Mar-a-Lago to discuss the Gaza truce, disarming Hamas, and Iran's regional influence. White House officials are reportedly concerned about delays in the ceasefire's second phase, while Trump is said to be eager to propose a technocratic government for Gaza and an international stabilization force.
