Hamas and the US have reached a preliminary agreement to surrender weapons in exchange for political recognition.
According to Sky News Arabia, Hamas leadership has reached a preliminary agreement to surrender weapons in exchange for recognition of the movement as a political party.
The publication's source notes that some of the leadership will be able to leave the Gaza Strip, with the US promising to provide security guarantees for the deal's participants.
At the same time, Israel expressed serious objections to certain points of the agreement, particularly those concerning Hamas's continued political presence. The Israeli Security Council believes that any legitimate political participation by the movement could threaten regional stability.
