US EditionHamas Considers a Proposal to Disarm in Gaza that's Central to the Territory's Future
Hamas' potential disarmament is tied to a U.S.-backed 20-point plan aiming to rebuild Gaza and establish a technocratic security committee, with nearly 2 million residents affected.
- Hamas is weighing a new disarmament proposal that could clear the way for President Donald Trump's plan to rebuild Gaza, a major concession after nearly two years of war.
- Nickolay Mladenov, director of the U.S.-backed Board of Peace, told the United Nations Security Council this week that mediators from Turkey, Qatar and Egypt presented the proposal demanding "complete decommissioning" of all Hamas weapons.
- While accepting the proposal "in principle," Hamas officials seek to differentiate between "heavy" and "light" weapons and demand guarantees that Israel will halt its attacks and not resume the war.
- Senior Hamas official Bassem Naim accused Mladenov of siding with Israel, illustrating tensions as discussions include placing Gaza under a new Palestinian technocratic committee.
- For Gaza's 2 million people living in limbo since the ceasefire nearly six months ago, the response carries profound stakes as Israeli strikes have killed nearly 700 Palestinians and reconstruction remains stalled.
