President Trump said Thursday evening Hamas and his international "Board of Peace" have agreed on the next steps in a peace deal that includes Hamas' disarmament in the Gaza Strip. Hamas communicated through mediators that it agreed to the final text of the plan, including decommissioning their weapons, U.S. and Board of Peace officials told reporters Thursday. Hamas has agreed to the plan for Gaza's disarmament, a senior Hamas official told CBS News' partner network BBC News. The negotiations stem from a 20-point peace proposal that Mr. Trump offered last fall to end the war between Israel and Hamas.
