BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 31. U.S. President Donald Trump said Israel has been "very good" regarding the proposed Hamas disarmament plan, adding that there is an "understanding" between Washington and Israel on the issue.
Speaking to reporters, Trump described the initiative as a significant diplomatic development despite the complexity of the situation.
"Most people said that would be a deal that would be undoable. Now, will it go through its ups and downs? It's a very complex situation over there," he said.
Trump called the proposed disarmament of Hamas "a great breakthrough", saying few believed such an outcome was possible.
He also linked the development to what he described as progress in U.S. dealings with Iran.
"That shows you how much success we're having with Iran, because if you go back four months ago, five months ago, a deal like that would have been impossible. So, it's a big step for the Middle East, and people are impressed by it and surprised by it," Trump said.
No further details were provided regarding the implementation or timeline of the proposed disarmament plan.
