Washington has been working to ensure that the Trump-backed Hamas disarmament plan prevents another October 7-style attack, senior US officials told reporters during a Thursday evening press conference.

"When we met with Prime Minister Netanyahu and his team, we said, ‘We need to obviously focus on getting the hostages released. We need to get the the bodies home, and we need to also make sure that this [the October 7 massacre] never happens again,'" a senior US official said, adding that the deal is intended to "really change the game in Gaza."

A senior US official said Hamas initially had significant concerns about whether Israel would honor its commitments, leading to "very delicate negotiations" with the terror group.
