Hamas official: We refuse disarmament as part of negotiations for Gaza ceasefire
Nurit Yohanan is The Times of Israel's Palestinian and Arab world correspondent
Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri says in a live interview with Al-Jazeera that “the draft that we received as part of the negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza is an Israeli draft, and it includes, for the first time, the disarmament of Hamas as part of the negotiations of the second phase of the ceasefire.”
Abu Zuhri says that “this is a million times a red line,” and that Hamas rejects it.
He also says Hamas is prepared to release all hostages in one go, in return for ending the war and the retreat of the IDF forces from the Strip.
