The proposed deal to disarm Hamas and withdraw Israeli forces from Gaza has seen a major development. 
Hamas has stated its agreement to a U.S.-backed framework that would ultimately lead to the militant group relinquishing its weapons and control over Gaza, while Israeli forces would withdraw from the territory. 
Nick Shifrin reports on the details of this proposed agreement.
