Arab media reports US open to dropping demand for Hamas disarmament pre-ceasefire:
According to the report, US negotiators conveyed this position during recent conversations with Egyptian mediators.

Trump administration officials reportedly signaled openness in talks with Egypt to delaying the issue of Hamas' disarmament until after a ceasefire agreement is reached, an Egyptian source told Qatari-backed Al-Araby Al-Jadeed on Friday.

The source also said US officials believe deporting thousands of Palestinian terrorists from Gaza is unrealistic, due to concerns from potential host countries and the large number — between 3,000 and 5,000 people — proposed by Israel.

According to the report, US negotiators conveyed this position during recent conversations with Egyptian mediators.

Rather than insisting on immediate disarmament — particularly of Hamas — the American side is reportedly open to addressing this issue at a later stage in the implementation process.

The same source also noted that US officials believe deporting Hamas military leaders or fighters from Gaza is not a viable option.
