Peace Council Official Says Hamas Must Disarm but Won't Disappear from Gaza
Nickolay Mladenov, the diplomat overseeing the US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza, said Hamas could have a political role after the war if it disarms. The ceasefire remains stalled because Hamas has not given up its weapons, which Mladenov called non-negotiable. Hamas blamed Israel for continued violations and accused it of not implementing the first phase.
