"Event 6 states the US claimed an agreement was reached for full disarmament. The new event is the confirmation of this agreement by the other party (Hamas), establishing a direct causal link between the US claim of agreement and the subsequent confirmation."
"Event 4 confirms the ceasefire agreement that is a prerequisite for the disarmament claimed in the new event. Both events are part of the same immediate diplomatic cluster resolving the Gaza conflict, occurring simultaneously."
