Hamas: No Disarmament Without Palestinian State⁣ ⁣ Hamas announced on Saturday that it will not disarm unless ‘a fully sovereign Palestinian state is established, with Jerusalem as its capital’. In a public statement, the group said its “armed resistance cannot be relinquished except through the full restoration of our national rights.”⁣ ⁣ The announcement comes as indirect ceasefire negotiations with Israel ended in deadlock last week. Talks had focused on a proposed 60-day truce in Gaza and the release of hostages, but no agreement was reached.⁣ ⁣ The stalemate underscores broader diplomatic shifts ahead of September’s UN General Assembly, where France is expected to formally recognise a Palestinian state. ⁣ ⁣ That would bring the total number of UN member states recognizing Palestine to 148 out of 193.⁣ ⁣ #Palestine #Hamas #GazaWar #MiddleEastDiplomacy #UNGA2025⁣
