  • A senior Hamas leader said the Palestinian Islamist movement would not surrender its weapons nor accept foreign intervention in Gaza, pushing back against US and Israeli demands.
  • Hamas has repeatedly said that disarmament is a red line, although it has indicated it could consider handing over its weapons to a future Palestinian governing authority.
  • Mr Meshal urged the Board of Peace to adopt what he called a "balanced approach" that would allow for Gaza's reconstruction and aid flow, while warning that Hamas would "not accept foreign rule" over Palestinian territory.
