🔶 Palestinian sources: Hamas will not accept real disarmament in Gaza

A Palestinian source in Gaza, who is linked to Israeli-backed militias, told The Jerusalem Post that the Hamas disarmament plan announced by the “Peace Delegation” will “not be implemented.” He said that for Hamas, handing over weapons is an act like “suicide.”

The source said that Hamas cannot continue its political and security life in Gaza without weapons. He added: “If there are no weapons, then there is no Hamas.”

According to the source, many families, clans, and citizens who in past years have been targeted by Hamas suppression, torture, or violence are waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. He said Hamas is aware of this threat and therefore cannot put down its weapons.
