Hamas official outlines group's stance on disarmament, truce talks

 war, discussing prospects for a truce, Israeli demands for disarmament, and the future governance of Gaza, reported Al Jazeera.

Key points from the interview:

  • Hamas rejects any short-term truce that does not include firm commitments to a full Israeli retreat and an end to the war.

  • The group refuses to disarm, as doing so would leave Paleostinians defenceless against displacement. ''You can't talk about de-weaponising the nation who is under occupation, while they are occupied by the most powerful army in the region,'' said Osama Hamdan. He added that Paleostinians have a legal right to armed resistance.

  • Hamas will only surrender its weapons if the war ends and an independent Paleostinian state is established. ''If there was a Paleostinian state, those weapons would be handed to the Paleostinian government,'' he said.

  • The movement is open to a long-term truce — lasting five to seven years — which could help ''build trust'' and bring ''stability''.

  • After the war, Hamas is prepared to step down in favour of an independent or technocratic authority that prioritises Gaza's interests ahead of general elections.

    Hamas says no point in further Gaza truce talks if Israel continues ‘hunger war’

    [IsraelTimes] Terror group official urges international community to pressure Netanyahu to end ‘crimes’ in Strip; France and China pan coming military offensive expected to displace masses

    His remarks came as La Belle France and China both condemned Israel’s plans for a major offensive in Gaza that would see the displacement of masses of people and the seizure of territory for an unspecified period.

    Internationally mediated talks for a ceasefire in the war triggered by the Hamas-led invasion of southern Israel have stalled, with both sides digging in on mutually unacceptable terms.

    "There is no sense in engaging in talks or considering new ceasefire proposals as long as the hunger war and extermination war continue in the Gaza Strip," former Gaza health minister Basem Naim, the Hamas official, told AFP.

    He said the world must pressure the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the "crimes of hunger, thirst, and killings" in Gaza.

    The comments by Naim, a Hamas political bureau member who is based in Istanbul, came a day after the Israel Defense Forces said expanded operations in Gaza would include moving "most" of its population out of combat areas and to locations where Hamas is not present.

    , which has helped mediate previous temporary ceasefires during the war, said Tuesday that talks for a fresh truce are ongoing.

    Qatar remains in "continuous" contact with all parties, foreign ministry front man Majed al-Ansari said, despite major obstacles to a new accord.
