Israel and Hamas Near Agreement on Second Phase of Gaza Ceasefire Deal
Palestinian sources reported to Palestine Al-Youm on July 30, 2026, that Israel and Hamas are close to announcing an agreement on the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire. The expected announcement includes a comprehensive 15-point roadmap addressing key issues, notably the handling of heavy weapons held by Palestinian factions. The agreement stipulates that these weapons will be stored rather than handed over. The roadmap links the weapons issue to several conditions: a complete withdrawal of Israeli Defense Forces from Gaza, cessation of targeted killings, and implementation of commitments made in the first phase of the ceasefire. This development signals progress in ongoing negotiations aimed at stabilizing the Gaza Strip following prior hostilities.
