Hamas has reportedly insisted that its weapons are legitimate, as part of a broader effort to pressure mediators in Gaza negotiations. The statement, published in a report, reflects the group's long-standing refusal to disarm. The Zioneer has previously reported on Hamas's refusal to allow access to weapons in tunnels (Jul 6) and its efforts to rebuild military capabilities (Jun 29). The current insistence comes amid ongoing talks over a ceasefire and hostage release.
