Hamas's Stance on Disarmament: A Quest for Statehood
Hamas has declared it will not disarm until an independent Palestinian state is realized. Talks between Hamas and Israel for a ceasefire and hostage release have stalled. The militant group insists its armed resistance is vital until its demands for a sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital are met.

Hamas announced on Saturday that its armed resistance will persist unless an independent Palestinian state is formed. The militant faction emphasizes that relinquishing arms is contingent upon achieving full national rights, including establishing a sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital.
Efforts for indirect mediation between Hamas and Israel aimed at securing a 60-day ceasefire in the Gaza conflict and arranging for hostage release concluded last week without resolution.
