Six months after the ceasefire with Israel, Hamas has indicated its readiness to surrender thousands of automatic rifles and other weapons used by its police and internal security forces in Gaza. This development, reported by the New York Times, comes from two Hamas officials during ongoing negotiations with the Board of Peace, an international organization led by Donald Trump. While this marks a notable shift for Hamas, it does not meet Israel's demand for full disarmament, which is central to Trump's peace plan. The officials did not clarify whether weapons from Hamas's military wing would also be included in the surrender. Negotiations are currently taking place in Cairo, and the Board of Peace has urged Hamas to relinquish all weapons in exchange for Israeli troop withdrawal and reconstruction efforts in Gaza. The transition of governance is underway, with Hamas indicating a willingness to transfer control to a new administrative committee, although it plans to remain active in Palestinian politics. Amid these discussions, fears of renewed conflict persist, especially with warnings from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding potential military action against Hamas.
