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.
