Hamas Says It Won't Discuss Giving Up Weapons If PA Takes Over Gaza
(Times of Israel) Dov Lieber - Senior Hamas leader Moussa Abu Marzouk said on Thursday that Hamas is not prepared to discuss the dissolution of its military wing during talks with the Fatah party. "This issue [of Hamas disarming] is not up for discussion, not previously and neither will it be in the future....It is inconceivable that Hamas will lay down its weapons," he told the Turkish news agency Anadolu. Abu Marzouk also said that Hamas would not be willing to accede to the demands of the Middle East Quartet that it renounce terrorism and agree to accept past agreements between Israel and PLO.
