Israel said on Thursday (December 12, 2025) that Hamas “will be disarmed” as part of the U.S.-sponsored peace plan for Gaza, after a top leader from the Islamist movement suggested a weapons freeze.
“There will be no future for Hamas under the 20-point plan. The terror group will be disarmed and Gaza will be demilitarised,” the Israeli official told AFP.
Hamas’s Khaled Meshaal told Qatari news channel Al Jazeera on Wednesday (December 11, 2025) that the militant group is open to a weapons “freeze”, but rejects the demand for disarmament put forward in U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza.
