Hamas agrees to disarm in a potential breakthrough to end war

Hamas has confirms it will disarm in a potential breakthrough

for ending the war in Gaza, but major obstacles remain.

This as US President Donald Trump claims the Iran war helped drive

Hamas to disarmament agreement.

The 15-member transitional Palestinian technocratic committee

for administering the Gaza Strip affirms "its full readiness to assume its

responsibilities" in the enclave following the reported Hamas disarmament pact.

Israel did not immediately respond.

An explosion in Nuseirat, Central Gaza

sends people running for safety.

Ten people were injured, one critically in the Israeli airstrike

Friday night which targeted a building and completely destroyed it.

Israeli strikes continue across Gaza despite a fragile

ceasefire between Hamas and Israel was put in place last October.

Speaking during a Cabinet meeting US President Donald Trump says

the newly-minted agreement aimed at leading to disarmament of the

Palestinian group Hamas and Israel's withdrawal from Gaza

and transition of oversight of the territory to a civilian body

has its ups and downs.

DONALD TRUMP\US President

We do have an understanding with Israel. Israel is very happy about it,

Israel helped us and they've been very good.

They've been good about it, but most people said

that would be a deal that would undoable.

Now, will it go through its ups and down?

It's a very complex situation over there.

The people are very complex and difficult.

The United Nations says the war in the Middle East

is increasingly becoming a driver of global instability

with trade, energy and food instability all weighing in.

Antonio Guterres, United Nations General-Secretary said

Six months into the military escalation in the Gulf.

What began as a regional conflict is increasingly

becoming a driver of global instability.

Trade through the Strait of Hormuz has collapsed.

Energy markets have been upended,

prices of food and fertiliser have surged. Supply chains are buckling.

Around the world we see families struggling to put food on the table.

Farmers are unable to afford basic inputs and vulnerable countries

pushed closer to the edge.

The World Food Program warns that as many as 45 million people

could face acute food insecurity as a result,

and rising prices and slowing growth threaten

to push millions more back into poverty.
