This announcement comes amid ongoing tensions and repeated violations of the <strong>Gaza ceasefire agreement<\/strong> by Israeli forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hamas\u2019 Stance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hamas chief <strong>Khalil al-Hayya<\/strong> stated that their weapons are directly linked to <strong>Israeli occupation and aggression<\/strong>. He emphasized that if Israel ends its occupation of Palestinian lands, Hamas is <strong>prepared to hand over its arms to the Palestinian Authority<\/strong>. This condition underscores Hamas\u2019 position that its military capabilities exist solely in response to Israeli control and hostilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al-Hayya also mentioned Hamas\u2019 acceptance of <strong>UN peacekeeping forces<\/strong> to monitor borders and ensure adherence to a ceasefire in Gaza. He described such forces as an essential component for maintaining stability in the region and preventing further escalations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ongoing Violence in Gaza<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the ceasefire agreement of <strong>11 October 2025<\/strong>, Israel continues to violate the terms, conducting drone strikes and machine-gun attacks that have killed at least <strong>7 more Palestinians<\/strong> in recent operations. Since the ceasefire, the <strong>Gaza Health Ministry<\/strong> reports that <strong>367 Palestinians<\/strong> have been killed in Israeli attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>International Concern<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two days ago, <strong>UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres<\/strong> highlighted evidence indicating that Israel has committed <strong>war crimes in Gaza<\/strong>, drawing international attention to the continued humanitarian crisis. Since October 2023, more than <strong>70,000 Palestinians<\/strong> have been killed and over <strong>120,000 injured<\/strong> due to Israeli military operations, making the humanitarian situation extremely severe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Significance of Hamas\u2019 Conditional Offer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hamas\u2019 statement reflects a potential opening for <strong>diplomatic resolution<\/strong>, but it remains strictly conditional on <strong>Israeli withdrawal<\/strong> and international oversight. By linking disarmament to the end of occupation and the deployment of UN forces, Hamas is emphasizing both <strong>security guarantees<\/strong> and the need for international accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conditional offer, while cautious, could form the basis for further dialogue aimed at stabilizing Gaza, preventing additional civilian casualties, and ensuring compliance with international law. It also highlights the continuing divide between Israel and Palestinian groups, where <strong>occupation and military presence remain central obstacles<\/strong> to peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hamas\u2019 conditional readiness to surrender its weapons signals a significant development in the ongoing conflict, placing responsibility squarely on Israel to withdraw from Palestinian territories and comply with international oversight. At the same time, continued violations of the ceasefire and ongoing casualties underscore the fragility of peace efforts and the urgent need for sustained international engagement to prevent further loss of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has expressed conditional readiness to lay down its weapons in exchange for Israel withdrawing from Palestinian territories.
