US suggests Hamas disarmament would come with amnesty deal

The United States has suggested that Palestinian fighters could receive amnesty as part of a deal for Hamas to disarm in Gaza. This proposal is a component of the second phase of a ceasefire plan, which also includes the withdrawal of the Israeli army and the deployment of an international force. France is calling for this second phase to be implemented now that the remains of the last Israeli captive have been recovered from the territory. Despite the truce, Israeli forces have reportedly committed numerous violations and continue military operations, while Hamas demands a full Israeli withdrawal and the entry of aid.
