‘A closed issue’: Hamas source rules out governance role in post-war Gaza; denies disarmament as ‘out of the question’

Hamas has declared it will not participate in governing Gaza post-ceasefire, relinquishing control but remaining a part of the Palestinian fabric. This significant shift comes as global leaders prepare for a peace summit in Egypt to discuss US President Trump’s plan for a deradicalized Gaza. Disarmament remains a firm ‘red line’ for Hamas, though a long-term truce is agreed upon.
