According to a report by Kan, Hamas has set out red lines in negotiations for transferring power in Gaza: the terror group demands the disarmament of militias connected to Israel, and insists that its own weapons be defined as 'legitimate resistance tools.'
Hamas has reportedly laid out its red lines in the ongoing negotiations for post-war governance in Gaza. According to a report by Kan, the terror group demands the disarmament of militias linked to Israel, while insisting that its own weapons be classified as 'legitimate resistance tools.' The report underscores the group's fundamental opposition to disarmament, a central obstacle in the talks. Earlier Tuesday, Hamas announced the dissolution of its Gaza government apparatus, a move that was seen as a potential step toward a technocratic administration. However, the new demands signal that the group intends to retain its military capabilities. Previous reports from i24NEWS and other outlets have detailed Hamas's refusal to allow access to weapons stored in tunnels. As The Zioneer has reported, the Gaza Peace Council has conditioned the entry of a technocratic committee on the centralization of all weapons under a single Palestinian authority, a demand Hamas has historically resisted.
