Framing Analysis
President Donald Trump announced a disarmament deal requiring Hamas to lay down heavy weapons in exchange for an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and an end to strikes. Hamas conditioned the step on creation of a Palestinian state, which Israel's government rejects, while Israel has issued no official comment. Separate reports confirm Iranian Revolutionary Guard strikes on tankers, Kuwaiti drone interceptions, and no U.S. strikes on Iran overnight before July 31, 2026.
