No Disarmament Pledge
Hamas made no commitment to disarm or transfer security control, which is a critical component of any lasting ceasefire and stability.

Israel views this as a 'spin' because Hamas personnel would remain in their positions, indicating practical control won't shift despite the dissolution.
