According to an analysis by The Zioneer, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey are closing a disarmament deal with Hamas that would see the IDF withdraw from Gaza. The analysis warns that Hamas will feign disarmament, then retake control and rearm, as it did in 2007.
The Zioneer analysis published Friday morning warns that the reported Gaza disarmament deal — brokered by Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey — is a dangerous illusion. The analysis states that the deal would see the IDF withdraw from the Gaza Strip while Hamas stores its weapons under international supervision. However, it warns that Hamas will feign compliance, then retake control and rearm, mirroring the 2007 takeover.
The analysis comes amid a fast-moving thread. The Zioneer reported earlier today that U.S. President Trump said IDF withdrawal would occur only after full disarmament, while Gaza Peace Council head Nikolay Mladenov called for a phased pullout in tandem with disarmament. The Eye on Zion morning briefing described the emerging framework as a 'zero trust' model, noting deep skepticism within the Israeli security establishment.
The Zioneer analysis echoes concerns raised by security analyst Yair Goldblatt, who argued that disarmament is 'window dressing' and that Hamas's ideology remains intact. The reported deal remains unconfirmed by official Israeli sources.
