The Palestinian group Hamas has firmly rejected claims made by US special envoy Steve Witkoff regarding its supposed readiness to disarm. In a recent statement, Hamas criticized Witkoff’s remarks, asserting that they misrepresented the group’s stance.
Hamas emphasized that it never indicated any willingness to demilitarize. The group’s leadership accused Witkoff of distorting their position during his recent trip to Gaza. This visit, they argue, undermines the complexities of the ongoing conflict and the realities on the ground.
Background Context
