Hamas Armed Wing Rejects Disarmament Demands, Blocking Gaza Peace Plan Implementation
Share:
The armed wing of Hamas has rejected demands for disarmament, creating the primary obstacle to implementing a Gaza peace plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. The disarmament issue represents the main barrier preventing the peace initiative from moving forward in the Palestinian territory. Hamas, the militant organization that controls Gaza and is designated as a terrorist group by the United States and European Union, maintains significant military capabilities through its armed branch, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, which has refused to surrender its weapons as part of any peace agreement.
