Hamas Rejects Disarmament Terms in Trump's Gaza Peace Plan
During mediation talks in Cairo on April 3, 2026, Hamas officials formally rejected proposals for the group's disarmament. Hamas stated it would not discuss disarmament until Israel fulfills its obligations under the first phase of President Trump's Gaza peace plan, including a full withdrawal to agreed ceasefire lines and the entry of reconstruction materials. The peace plan remains stalled as regional attention shifts toward the active war with Iran and a global energy crisis.
