US EditionHamas says it won't disarm unless independent Palestinian state established
PALESTINE, AUG 4 – Hamas maintains weapons until an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital is recognized, blocking peace efforts amid ongoing conflict and 50 hostages held, officials say.
- On Tuesday, Qatar and Egypt endorsed a France-Saudi declaration stating Hamas must hand over its arms to the Western-backed Palestinian Authority.
- On Saturday, Hamas said it would not disarm unless an independent, fully sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital is established.
- The United Nations reported that over 1,300 Palestinians have been killed trying to access food at GHF-run sites since May, earlier this week.
- Concluding without agreement, talks broke down last week, as Hamas said it would only consider disarmament if Palestinians achieve full statehood and sovereignty.
- Long-Term, Hamas’s conditional rejection underscores that disarmament depends on full Palestinian statehood, complicating peace efforts, despite Qatar and Egypt backing a plan for Hamas to disarm under Palestinian Authority control.
