  "summary": "Israel and the United States have agreed on a mechanism to destroy Hamas weapons rather than transferring them to the Palestinian government, according to a source speaking with The Jerusalem Post. The agreement, reached during a meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior US officials, aims to establish a verifiable process for removing and destroying Hamas's weapons before they could be handed over to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) or any other Palestinian authority. The arrangement, which will be implemented by the US-led International Stabilization Force (ISF) headed by US Maj.-Gen. Jasper Jeffers, requires Hamas to begin turning over weapons immediately to demonstrate its commitment to the disarmament process.",
