Arab states and Turkey pressuring Hamas to disarm, Germany says

Germany’s foreign minister says Qatar, Egypt, Turkey and other Arab states are exerting pressure on Hamas in Gaza to disarm to support further peace negotiations with Israel.

“All these states don’t want Hamas to continue to be active. They want disarmament and in this respect we have a good pressure scenario, because it won’t work without pressure,” Minister Johann Wadephul tells Deutschlandfunk radio.
