Journalist Achikam Himmelreich reports that Hamas has set conditions for the Trump-backed Gaza disarmament framework, including that its weapons will remain in Gaza. The specific conditions were not detailed in the report.
The report comes amid ongoing negotiations over the plan, which was announced by President Trump on July 31. As The Zioneer has previously reported, senior Hamas officials have stated that the group agreed to store weapons, not to disarm, and that the organization demands a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip before any disarmament steps. Israel has insisted on total disarmament, with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar characterizing Hamas's willingness to cede ground to a technocrat government as a tactical maneuver to avoid disarmament.
The current report appears to align with Hamas's previously stated position, though the conditions have not been independently verified. The Trump administration has not yet commented on the report.
