Hamas Denies ‘Prepared To Be Demilitarised’ Claim, Calls Witkoff Visit ‘staged show’ | World News

On Saturday, the Palestinian group made a statement in response to the comments made by US President Donald Trump’s Middle East Special Ambassador Steve Witkoff during a meeting with relatives of Israeli prisoners in Gaza.

Referring to a record of the speech, Israel’s output Haaretz said that the US ambassador said that Hamas was “ready to be soldiers”. However, Hamas rejected the claim firmly.

Hamas, in his statement, “Resistance and weapons are a national and legal right [Israeli] The profession continues. “This right” this right “can not be left until our national rights can not be left back, he added, in the first place, the establishment of a completely dominant, independent Palestinian state with the capital of Jerusalem.”

Witkoff met the families in Tel Aviv on Saturday the day after visiting the US and Israeli aid distribution area in Gaza, which was carried out by the controversial GHF group. Al Jazeera criticized Hamas as a “gradual demonstration” that aims to mislead the public about the ambassador’s visit and the conditions in the enclav.

The group pointed out that the United Nations report stating that more than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed on sites operated by GHF since the establishment of the establishment in May in May, emphasizing the deterioration of humanitarian conditions.

Despite international criticism of the group’s operations, the Trump administration stood behind GHF. In June, Al Jazeera announced in June that Washington announced a $ 30 million fund support for its organization.

Witkoff’s words about disarmament emerge as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues, as it intensifies global efforts to recognize a Palestinian state. This week at the two -day United Nations Conference in New York, England said that if Israel does not apply a ceasefire, it could follow France to get to know the Palestinian state in September.

Foreign Minister David Lammy, who echoed the previous stance of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, said Britain will continue to be recognized under certain conditions. The UN meeting also found that together with the European Union and the Arab Union, 17 countries approved a seven -page document supporting a two -state solution.

The Metin called Hamas to “end his rule in Gaza and deliver his weapons to the Palestinian authority with international participation and support in accordance with the target of a dominant and independent Palestinian state”.
