- Hamas surrendered and agreed to full disarmament, according to Israeli officials cited by Ynetnews.
- Diplomatic officials report progress on a Gaza roadmap that would fully disarm Hamas, remove it from power, and hand its weapons to a new postwar Gaza security force, per The Times of Israel.
Why it matters: Israeli officials framing Hamas as having surrendered is a significant rhetorical shift, though no independent confirmation is reported in the source; the proposed transfer of weapons to a postwar security force points to a concrete mechanism for disarmament rather than a vague commitment.
