Disarm Hamas Now

Hamas's 'Dissolution' is a Ruse: Disarm First, Then Trust.

This announcement is a facade designed to avoid disarmament and maintain control. Real change requires Hamas to hand over its weapons and security apparatus to an international force, ensuring a truly unified and peaceful Gaza.

Avoid Disarmament

Hamas's move is a tactic to evade its disarmament obligations under the ceasefire agreement. Without disarming, Hamas retains de facto power, rendering any civilian government powerless.

Maintain Control

By leaving technical staff in place, Hamas likely intends to maintain significant influence over daily operations in Gaza. The group's retention of weapons means it can still dictate terms to any civilian authority.

Symbolic, Not Substantive

This action is symbolic and lacks substantive measures for peace or a true transfer of power. The international community should demand actions, such as disarming, not just empty promises.
