flag Hamas rejects U.S. and Israeli demands to disarm or accept foreign control in Gaza, asserting its right to armed resistance.

flag A senior Hamas leader, Khaled Meshal, rejected U.S. and Israeli demands for the group to disarm or accept foreign control in Gaza, asserting that armed resistance is a legitimate right under occupation. flag Speaking in Doha on February 8, 2026, Meshal emphasized that Hamas would not surrender weapons or allow external governance, calling such conditions unacceptable. flag His remarks underscore Hamas’s continued defiance amid a U.S.-brokered ceasefire and the ongoing "Board of Peace" initiative led by President Donald Trump, which aims to oversee Gaza’s governance and reconstruction. flag While Hamas has left open the possibility of transferring weapons to a future Palestinian authority, it insists on full Palestinian sovereignty and opposes foreign rule. flag The situation remains tense, with Israel continuing military operations and regional tensions escalating.
