For more than a decade, tensions between Israel and Hamas have shaped the security landscape of the region, marked by recurring cycles of conflict, ceasefires, and failed negotiations. Hamas, which governs Gaza, has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States and several other countries, largely due to its militant activities and refusal to recognize Israel. Previous international efforts to curb its military capabilities have produced limited and temporary results.
In recent months, heightened regional instability and diplomatic pressure have renewed discussions around long-term security solutions. Against this backdrop, Washington and Jerusalem have intensified coordination, seeking clearer benchmarks and timelines rather than open-ended commitments.
The United States and Israel have now reached an agreement establishing a two-month timeframe aimed at the disarmament of Hamas. The deadline is intended to support regional security objectives and reduce the risk of further escalation. Officials have not released detailed implementation plans, but discussions are expected to continue through diplomatic and security channels.
