Qatar, Turkey Try to Circumvent Hamas Disarmament as Terror Group Escalates Crackdown in Gaza

Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
As the United States advances the second phase of President Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan, Israel accuses Qatar and Turkey of attempting to prevent Hamas’s disarmament by proposing alternatives such as handing over weapons to the Palestinian Authority or securing them under international oversight. Qatar and Turkey also advocate a two-year grace period allowing Hamas to keep its weapons, a proposal Israel rejects, insisting on a prompt disarmament. Hamas continues to refuse full disarmament, only agreeing to store or freeze weapons, while intensifying its crackdown on rival Palestinian factions within Gaza. The ceasefire plan’s next phase includes installing an interim administrative authority and an international stabilization force, but Israel demands Hamas disarm first before further withdrawing its military presence.

Scripture: James 3:16-17
"For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy."
Commentary:
Plans for peace stall when competing interests get in the way, and this dispute over disarmament really shows how hard it is to move forward.

Scripture describes seasons when international negotiation grows complicated and shifting alliances reflect the unsettled patterns of the last days.

Diplomatic friction over disarmament signals more intricate alignments and unresolved tensions shaping the landscape of regional negotiation.

Qatar and Turkey have proposed alternatives to a central provision of Trump’s peace plan, according to Israeli media reports. Rather than requiring Hamas to disarm, Qatari and Turkish officials have pushed for the Islamist group either to hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority or place them in secure storage under international oversight. As part of this plan, Qatar and Turkey are reportedly advocating a two‑year grace period during which Hamas could legally retain its weapons. However, Israeli officials have rejected these options as unacceptable, arguing they would allow the terrorist group to maintain its influence in Gaza, which Hamas has ruled for nearly two decades. Israel has made clear it will allow Hamas just a few ...
