Hamas has told US mediators it is ready to proceed with the latest stage of the Gaza peace plan, under which it would hand over weapons to a Palestinian governing committee. A Hamas official said the group urges Washington to press Israel to abide by the agreement and move to the second phase. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists Israel did not agree to the draft presented by the Board of Peace. President Donald Trump had hailed a breakthrough, with Hamas agreeing to disarm under a phased roadmap that includes a transitional Palestinian administration and gradual Israeli withdrawal. Israeli operations in Gaza have killed 1,257 Palestinians since October last year.
