Hamas said Thursday evening that the weapons handover under the emerging Gaza deal will be an internal Palestinian affair without Israeli involvement, according to a report by Yair Goldblatt. The terror group stated that heavy weapons will be transferred to the National Committee for the Management of Gaza.
Hamas on Thursday evening clarified its position on the weapons transfer mechanism in the emerging Gaza agreement. According to a report by Yair Goldblatt, the terror group stated that the handover of weapons will be a Palestinian-Palestinian operation, without an Israeli role. Heavy weapons, it said, will be transferred to the authority of the National Committee for the Management of Gaza.
The statement comes just minutes after reports that Hamas agreed to all clauses of the Trump administration's Gaza plan, as The Zioneer reported. The proposed framework calls for disarmament, storage of weapons under international supervision, and the establishment of a technocratic committee to manage the Strip. Hamas's latest remarks appear to reinforce the 'Palestinian-Palestinian' nature of the process, a point previously emphasized by the group in earlier negotiations.
