Hamas refuses to disarm

Hamas firmly rejects any attempts to disarm the resistance movement, warning against foreign interference, while demanding more detailed guarantees for the second phase of the ceasefire with Israel, top Hamas official Osama Hamdan said.

He stressed that Hamas will never hand over its weapons to foreign powers.

“The resistance rejects the arrival of foreign forces to disarm us [and take away] the weapons," Hamdan said.

The Hamas official also addressed the ongoing ceasefire, which Israel continues to violate, underscoring the need for clearer guarantees in its next stage.

“In the second phase of the Gaza agreement, the guarantees must be clearer and the commitments need to be more detailed,” Hamdan said.
