Israel says ceasefire void if Hamas refuses to disarm

Israel is not obligated to maintain ceasefire commitments if Hamas refuses to disarm, according to a leaked document from a US-backed peace panel. The warning came after Hamas rejected a proposal to surrender arms within 90 days.

A document sent by the Board of Peace, a US-backed organization, to Gaza’s technocratic committee reveals that Israel is not bound by ceasefire terms if Hamas does not agree to disarm. The document was published by the Times of Israel.
In the letter, Nickolay Mladenov, the Board of Peace’s senior representative for Gaza, warned the head of the Palestinian technocratic government—a body established to replace Hamas in running Gaza—that Hamas’s rejection of the disarmament proposal would render the terms of the October 2025 ceasefire “void.”
Those terms require Israel to halt all attacks, significantly increase aid deliveries into the territory, fully reopen the Rafah crossing, and withdraw all troops behind an agreed “golden boundary line.”
Hamas has rejected the disarmament proposal put forward by mediators in Cairo. The proposal demanded that all armed groups in Gaza surrender their weapons within 90 days.
