Several Palestinians were wounded in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza on Friday, just hours after US President Donald Trump announced a deal for the complete disarmament of Hamas — a deal the Israeli government says it cannot accept.
The agreement, signed in El-Alamein in Egypt, would require Israel to pull back from territory it has seized in Gaza beyond the positions it held when the ceasefire took effect — but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's defence minister has repeatedly said Israel will remain in Gaza permanently.
From Tel Aviv, Blake Sifton reports.
