Hamas Refutes Claims of a Disarmament Agreement

Following the latest negotiations between Hamas and Israel led by the U.S. President Donald Trump, social media users claim that Hamas agreed to disarm. Users attributed the claim to reports by the Saudi news outlets Al Arabiya and Al Hadath.

The claim originated from reports by Al Arabiya and Al Hadath, then amplified by different social media accounts in multiple languages. According to the Al Arabiya report, a Hamas source revealed to the outlet that the movement has agreed to hand over its weapons to a joint Palestinian–Egyptian authority under international supervision, as part of the implementation of Trump’s peace plan.
