HAMAS OFFERS DISARMAMENT IF PALESTINE STATE ESTABLISHED, PER SENIOR OFFICIAL

Why in the news?

“Hamas offers truce and political transition; willing to disarm and join Palestinian political structure for statehood, facing scepticism from Israel.”

Hamas’s Offer for Peace and Transition:

  • Khalil al-Hayya, a senior Hamas official, disclosed to The Associated Press the group’s readiness to negotiate a truce of at least five years with Israel.
  • Hamas proposes to disarm and transform into a political entity upon the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the pre-1967 borders.
  • This marks a significant departure from Hamas’s previous stance of advocating for Israel’s destruction.
