Hamas says still ready to go ahead with Gaza plan

Hamas says it's still ready to move forward with the US-backed Gaza peace plan, telling mediators it will begin handing weapons to a new Palestinian governing committee, according to Dawn. The group is now pressing the Trump administration to push Israel toward approval, since Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel never agreed to the draft as presented, and has instead demanded full disarmament before any withdrawal. Israeli strikes in Gaza continue, though Dawn reports they've eased somewhat in recent days, with the Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis reporting three people wounded by army gunfire on Saturday.
