Egypt Proposes Hamas Hand Over Weapons to Cairo Instead of Disarmament
Egypt has renewed its proposal to Hamas to hand over its weapons to Egypt as a form of custody rather than fully disarming, according to a report by Kan News on Thursday evening. Currently, senior Hamas delegates are engaged in talks in Cairo, where Egyptian officials are attempting to persuade the group to accept this compromise amid ongoing deadlock over disarmament demands.
An Egyptian source familiar with the discussions told Kan News correspondent Roy Kais that Egypt is trying to revive a previously suggested idea for Hamas to deposit its weapons with Cairo. This move aims to break the impasse and facilitate progress to the next phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the conflict in Gaza.
Despite these efforts, the source noted that Hamas has shown no willingness to compromise and appears to be delaying the process. Egypt is applying pressure on Hamas to accept the proposal as an alternative to complete disarmament, hoping to advance peace efforts in the region.
