Hamas has agreed to a draft roadmap that would see the group's weapons placed under the control of a Palestinian administrative body as Israeli forces withdraw from the Gaza Strip in phases, according to officials involved in the negotiations.

The proposal, announced by US President Donald Trump, has not received public approval from Israel, while Israeli military operations continued across Gaza on Friday.
