Crushing Response to Witkoff’s Claim on Hamas Disarmament
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and shehab News Agency, Hamas has responded to false claims made by Steve Witkoff, former Trump envoy, regarding disarmament. the group affirmed it will not relinquish its weapons until an autonomous Palestinian state is established.
In a press release addressing reports quoting Steve Witkoff’s statement that Hamas had expressed willingness to disarm, the Islamic Resistance Movement emphasized once again that resistance and its arms remain a national and legal right as long as the occupation persists.
Hamas underscored that this right is recognized under international conventions and treaties. It stressed it cannot waive this right until all national rights are fully realized-most importantly, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with full sovereignty centered in Jerusalem.
It should be noted that Steve Witkoff claimed Hamas had agreed to disarm and that Netanyahu has committed to ending the conflict.
