ARAB MEDIA REPORTS US OPEN TO DROPPING DEMAND FOR HAMAS DISARMAMENT BEFORE CEASEFIRE

Trump administration officials reportedly signaled openness in talks with Egypt to delaying the issue of Hamas' disarmament until after a ceasefire agreement is reached, an Egyptian source told Qatari-backed Al-Araby Al-Jadeed on Friday. 

The source also said US officials believe deporting thousands of Palestinian terrorists from Gaza is unrealistic, due to concerns from potential host countries and the large number—between 3,000 and 5,000 people—proposed by Israel.
