In recent developments, Hamas officials have indicated readiness to hand over some weapons, yet they firmly reject disarmament plans linked to Gaza peace initiatives. Direct talks between US representatives and Hamas in Cairo have been held, but progress remains elusive, with reports of continued ceasefire violations by Israel. While Hamas awaits an end to the Iran conflict to strengthen its position, the US and international mediators apply strong pressure for compliance with disarmament clauses. The situation remains tense as Hamas maintains its weapons amid stalled negotiations, complicating the already fragile ceasefire process.
