Trump: Hamas helped locate the body of the last detainee.. and now we must disarm it

US President Donald Trump, in statements to American media, revealed new and sensitive details related to closing the file of detainees in the Gaza Strip, pointing to a field role for "Hamas movement" in this process, and at the same time emphasizing the transition to new political and military entitlements.

Trump confirmed that the process of searching for and identifying the body of the "Israeli" police officer "Ran Gvili" was "extremely difficult."

He explained that the Hamas movement made great efforts alongside the occupation to find the body, indicating that the movement actively helped locate the body of the last detainee who was inside the Strip.

In a step reflecting the features of the next stage after ending the detainee file, Trump stated: "Now we must disarm Hamas as the movement promised."

These statements place the issue of Palestinian weapons at the top of the American administration's priorities in the context of discussing "post-war" arrangements in the Gaza Strip.
