DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Hamas is ready to discuss “freezing or storing” its arsenal of weapons as part of its ceasefire with Israel, a senior official said Sunday, offering a possible formula to resolve one of the thorniest issues in the U.S.-brokered agreement.

Bassem Naim, a member of Hamas’ decision-making political bureau, spoke as the sides prepare to move into the second and more complicated phase of the agreement.
“We are open to have a comprehensive approach in order to avoid further escalations or in order to avoid any further clashes or explosions,” Naim told The Associated Press in Qatar’s capital, Doha, where much of the group’s leadership is located.
The deal halted a two-year Israeli offensive in Gaza, launched in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack. Asked whether the attack was a mistake, Naim defended it as an “act of defense.”
Notice, he’s not saying live side by side – just to store the weapon for a later date.
Storing under a unrwa school lol! What about the tunnels which are weapons
More burning than freezing
How about we store his corpse somewhere for later
The deal which all sides (including Hamas) agreed to, was for Hamas to turn over all of their weapons, and not “store them”. They are just stalling, as they have been doing for the past two months. Their benefactors from Qatar, as just as complicit.
Hamas “official”? You mean Hamas scumbag? Thought so…
Liar liar pants on fire…..
