The United States expects Hamas to begin handing over its weapons within 30 days as a first step toward peace in Gaza.

United States Middle East envoy Jared Kushner announced on Monday that the disarmament process for the militant group Hamas is expected to commence within approximately 30 days. This initiative is presented as a foundational step toward establishing peace in the Gaza Strip.

Kushner emphasized that the future reconstruction of Gaza is contingent upon the successful execution of this disarmament phase. The timeline serves as a primary condition set by the U.S. for moving forward with broader stabilization efforts in the region.
