Report: Israel, Hamas not to participate in Gaza deal signing ceremony
Hamas refuses to attend the signing due to disagreements over disarmament and governance, while the ceasefire includes releasing 47 Israeli hostages, officials said.
- On Monday, Hossam Badran, Hamas political bureau member, announced Hamas will not participate in the Sharm el-Sheikh signing ceremony in Egypt, signaling tougher negotiations ahead.
- Rejecting key terms, Hamas objects to disarmament provisions in President Donald Trump’s peace plan and exclusion from Gaza’s future governance, calling talk of expelling Palestinians `absurd`.
- According to Hamas representative Osama Hamdam, the prisoner exchange is set to begin Monday morning, with 48 Israeli hostages to be freed and Israel releasing 2,000 Palestinians thereafter.
- Should Hamas not sign, it would not be legally bound while US President Donald Trump and mediators signed a pact to halt operations and enable reconstruction and humanitarian corridors.
- With more than 67,000 Palestinians killed, some 170,000 metric tons of food aid await Israeli authorisation while US troops assist humanitarian facilitation.
