- Trump has brokered a Gaza deal in which Hamas disarms and Israel withdraws, but both sides are reluctant to go first, according to The Washington Post.
- An Israeli official stated troops won't pull back in Gaza without conditions, per a CNN headline included in the coverage.
Why it matters: The deal's sequencing problem — each side waiting for the other — and the Israeli official's conditional refusal to withdraw create a concrete implementation standoff that could stall the agreement even after Trump secured it.
