Hamas has denied claims that it expressed willingness to disarm. It has been stated by the organisation that it will not lay down its guns. Until an independent Palestinian state is established. With Jerusalem serving as the capital of that state. As long as the Israeli occupation persists, Hamas has emphasised that the right to engage in violent resistance is both legal and patriotic. It is expected that this privilege will be preserved until the ultimate restoration of Palestinian sovereignty.
Following reports that US ambassador Steve Witkoff said Hamas was prepared to demilitarise, the denial was made. As a political spectacle designed to mislead the public. Hamas referred to his visit to a Gaza relief centre that was supported by the United States. In their statement, the organisation accused the United States and Israel of using the visit as a cover for their ongoing attacks and blockades in Gaza. This has resulted in deaths and famine in the region.
Both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority have been subjected to pressure. The international community demands to disarm and hand over their weapons. Despite this, Hamas is determined on keeping its weapons in its possession until a Palestinian state that is truly sovereign is established. Disarmament without a political resolution is something that Hamas considers to be unacceptable.
In the midst of ongoing indirect ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas. That have not yet resulted in any agreements, this viewpoint has emerged. A significant number of residents in Gaza are suffering from starvation and a lack of aid. The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza worse.
Hamas remains fiercely opposed to any discussion of disarmament, provided as there is not a substantial amount of political advancement towards Palestinian independence. They make a solemn oath to maintain their armed struggle until these objectives are accomplished.
