Hamas, Board of Peace clash over disarmament agreement, enter impasse in negotiations
Negotiations between Hamas and the Board of Peace executive council have reached an impasse, with the terrorist organization refusing to disarm and proceed to phase two of the ceasefire deal, KAN News reported on Sunday.
According to Palestinian sources cited by KAN, talks between Director-General of the BoP Nickolay Mladenov and the Hamas delegation, led by Khalil al-Hayya, are stuck over Hamas's demands to disarm.
The terrorist organization has said that it would only give up weapons after the full implementation of phase one of the agreement, which requires Israel to withdraw from Gaza, and with guarantees that the plan would lead to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
Israel has already informed Mladenov that it will not withdraw beyond the Gaza "yellow line," a border that divides the areas where residents of the Strip are not allowed to approach and which has a heavy IDF presence.
