Political sources in the US and Israel report that Hamas is close to announcing its disarmament, with a detailed framework for full disarmament of weapons and tunnels. One source describes the development as a surrender of the terror group.
Political sources in the US and Israel said Thursday that Hamas is very close to announcing its disarmament, according to a detailed framework for the full and complete removal of weapons and tunnels. One source described the development as 'a surrender of Hamas.'
Earlier today, The Zioneer reported that Hamas was negotiating disarmament in Cairo with Qatar and Turkey mediating. The new update suggests that the talks have advanced significantly, with sources now indicating a formal announcement could be imminent.
The development comes amid a broader diplomatic track that has seen multiple reports in recent weeks. On July 28, according to a Kan report cited by The Zioneer, Hamas demanded that its weapons be defined as 'legitimate resistance tools.' On July 7, Hamas announced the dissolution of its government in Gaza and readiness to transfer weapons to the Gaza Peace Council. The current report, if accurate, would mark a decisive shift from those earlier positions.
The claim is based on a single source and remains unconfirmed by independent verification. The Zioneer will update as more details emerge.
