Arab media reports from October 5 suggest that Hamas is planning to fully comply with the peace plan presented by United States President Donald to the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, including disarming and leaving the enclave.
Sources from Hamas told the Saudi-owned news channel Al-Hadath that the group’s fighters in Gaza have begun collecting the bodies of the dead hostages across the Strip, and that they had asked Israel to halt its aerial strikes so that they are able to complete the task.
At least 48 hostages remain in Gaza, with 22 believed alive and 26 confirmed dead, according to Israel. According to Al-Hadath , the transfer of the bodies will take some time, and there is flexibility from the U.S. on this matter.
The report also said that Hamas has received guarantees from the Trump administration stipulating that Israel will not resume the war and will permanently withdraw the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) from the strip if the plan proceeds to its conclusion.
In addition, the sources told Al-Hadath that Hamas has agreed to hand over its weapons to a Palestinian–Egyptian body under international supervision. They added that it had been agreed that Hamas leaders can choose to leave Gaza if they so wish and will not be targeted by Israel.
Unsurprisingly, Al-Hadath report was denied by Hamas. This, of course, could lead to a serious escalation by Israel, as disarmament is a key part of Trump’s plan.
“Some platforms and media sites are circulating claims attributed to a source in the Hamas movement to Al-Hadath channel stating that the movement agreed to gradually hand over weapons under international supervision. We confirm that these news are false and baseless.
We confirm on Tabbin channel that official statements and declarations are published through the official website of the Hamas movement and the official Telegram channel.
We also call on the media to verify accuracy from the official Hamas movement website through the official page link address of the movement,” the group said in a statement.
The peace plan, announced by Trump on September 29, demands an immediate ceasefire, hostage release within 72 hours, and Hamas’s disarmament, with Israel withdrawing on several stages and Palestinian technocrats taking over under international oversight for up to five years. On October 3, Trump said that Hamas had accepted the plan.
Maintaining pressure on Hamas, Trump warned the group on October 5 that it could face “complete obliteration!” if it tries to cling to power in Gaza.
Asked by CNN about those who say Hamas effectively rejected his plan by refusing to accept disarmament and setting conditions for a hostage release, Trump writes, “We will find out. Only time will tell!!!”
The IDF halted its major offensive in Gaza City on October 4, but y continued to carry out strikes against targets it deemed to pose a threat, including in Gaza City’s Tuffah neighborhood, in which at least 18 Palestinians were reported killed, including children.
Later in the day, the Hamas-run health ministry said that Israeli bombardment had killed at least 57 people since dawn all over the Strip.
In addition to the deadly strikes, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir told commanders in Gaza on October 5 that they must be prepared to resume fighting at any time.
“There is no ceasefire, but there is a change in the operational situation, the political echelon is taking the tools and achievements you have brought through military action and translating them into a political achievement,” Zamir said during a tour of the westernmost point of the Netzarim Corridor, south of Gaza City.
“If the political effort does not succeed, we will return to fight,” he added, according to remarks provided by the IDF.
Hamas has already made major concessions, including accepting the release of all remaining hostages. Meanwhile, Israel appears to be stalling when it comes to withdrawing from Gaza as evident by its recent strikes. With or without a full Israeli withdrawal, Hamas will not likely agree to disarm. This shows that Trump’s peace plan is set to face major issues.

time to krill lotss of shlomos here and their fucking greengoy motherfucking dumb as fuck slaves asswell
peace and love be upon jews, evangelicals, muslims and all faiths and nationalities across the world. amen.
it’$ way past bedtime. russia sharpen the nukes!!! but before you do do your integrity a favor by announcing your departure from the un charter and provide the reasons why it must be permanent given what has happened the last 11 years with your family in the eastern donbas… and if the ex-kgb officer as the un disciple that heads your government is the impediment get rid of him!…
al-hadath is the biggest zionistic liars. they say whatever the it israhellis want them to say. hamas never said they would put down their weapons nor leave gaza.
yes, that is actually the truth. 👍
no, hamas is the greatest liar, pretending to fight for chidren and women, while hiding behind them, for personal score and having their dicks in motion.
being told by s-f that i “am not allowed to vote for this comment”!… ^100 looks like the russian independent media is manipulated by the same zi0ni$ts that control the west?…
completely agree!
i also can not down vote on many posts
not just the media champ. their whole establishment for the last thirty plus years !
care to comment on the 10/7 hannibal directive,
or are you too busy filming tik-toks in looted lingerie?
hamas is denying reports of disarmament. check your sources
there’s not 1 hamas. there are many branches. some of them want to harm iran, and help turkey to fight iran. iran should be careful of its neighbors. the usa has new plans against iran after iran executed dozens of its spies.
hamas is an israeli creation funded through qatar for years to remove the plo. so nothing it claims can be believed. palestinians have no government, leadership or representatives. they have no property, no land and can just run for their lives in the struggle to survive.
if factions of the “so named” hamas exist they can still be created / funded by israel.
what is the death rate of palestinians to idf 10,000 to 1 sounds close. tic tok, and you tube censorship are increasing. when is the idf going to disarm and withdraw ? no mention of that.
very true. people all around the world are waking up now, realizing that joodaism is satanism, and israel and zionism is just the nasty tip of the satanic iceberg called international jewry. and the hooknosed devils are trying to silence the people by killing those people going public – like the now murdered former uk human right lawyer patrick cullinane that wa killed in 2016 in uk. here listen to one of his last speeches were he states that uk was highjacked by joos: https://cuturl.cc/psf
oh my god! this is horror, just horror.
beyond horror , beyond anything. what human amongst us would even think of hurting these little ones ? most of them just little girls.
these savage inbred cretins have put on a very revealing display for all to see and i don’t think they’re going to get away with it this time, no matter what six million lies they’ll try to peddle, and they will.
its their last chance to do right, if they don’t, the idf will haul them out dead or alive. one way or another, its the end of hamas.
the project erez isreal seems to be going as planned. funded by the eu and us goy who also give the funds to bribe the arab rulers and the firepower to threaten those who need be.
israel will becoming a silent place…
the arab and muslims states are pressuring the ussa and israel, hamas will ony leave if palestine is created
hamas negotiates again, after all upcomings, following that kind of sentiment in gaza, libanon, iran and dakar? i’ve told them to get rid of the hostages and ran the hell out that hell and start assemble a real weapon!
hamas negotiate ? no one knows who they are. they have photos of masked men wearing black with green head bands. the palestinians may be just moments or days away from completed extermination
there’s never been an example of a middle east insurgent group disarming or any enforcement mechanism to confirm it, what is happening is a face-saving effort by trump to help netanyahu whose attempted genocide is apparently ending in failure, he couldn’t do this. maybe he should hide under floorboards instead or plead not to go in an oven
billions in americans taxes go to these zionist animals for the genocidal killing of children. their grip on american politicians must end.
dont disarm isral is on the verge of collapse they cannot go anymore and us is stuck in this . release dead hostage first and when israel start withdrawing then release alive hostage according to the withdrawl plan . set this condition first. if hamas disarm first then its over israel will kill all palestine and make them street beggers. pact with evil is not good.
israel does not want the hostages returned.! they are used by hasbara ghost writers for endless talking points to advance the genocide upon palestinians. israels hannibal directive states this clearly. look it up !
of course this contradicts the statement made by hamas itself and all common sense.
hamas statements are meaningless. peace talk theater is an years old israeli propaganda tactic. israel needs a media counter to the flotilla coverage.
total victory for israel!!!
down vote !
didn’t the plo not disarm and leave south lebanon and then the israelis watched as the defenceless civilians were massacred? after what happened then and the upshot of recent developments in lebanon and with pro israeli militias in gaza it seems to me to be unlikely that any group would unilaterally disarm. the u s and israel have hardly been honest brokers anywhere recently.
