Mr. Trump said that there was a commitment to ensure Gaza was demilitarised and “beautifully rebuilt”.
Mr. Trump added that Hamas must disarm under the Gaza ceasefire deal or it will be the “end” of the Palestinian movement. “They have to give up their weapons, and if they don’t do that, it’s going to be the end of them,” Mr. Trump said, adding that the Islamist group “were born with rifles in their hands.”
“Congratulations President Trump, the charter is now in full force, and the board of peace is now an official international organisation,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said at the signing ceremony.
