Hamas Armed Wing Rejects Disarmament
Hamas says talks over its weapons cannot begin until Israel fully carries out the ceasefire’s first phase, as Gaza peace negotiations stall.
- On Sunday, Hamas armed wing spokesperson Abu Obeida rejected calls for disarmament, stating that discussing weapons "in a crude manner" before Israel implements the first phase of the United States-brokered ceasefire is unacceptable.
- President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza faces a major obstacle regarding Hamas's weapons, which are central to cementing the ceasefire that halted two years of full-scale fighting last October.
- According to three sources who spoke last week, Hamas has told mediators it will not discuss relinquishing its weapons without guarantees that Israel will completely withdraw from Gaza.
- Urging mediators to pressure Israel, Abu Obeida demanded fulfillment of first-phase commitments before discussing subsequent steps, labeling disarmament calls "nothing but an overt attempt to continue the genocide against our people."
- While it remains unclear if this constitutes a formal rejection of the US-backed initiative, the Hamas-Israel war continues to impact the territory, where more than 72,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023.
