JERUSALEM (AFP) : Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas is progressing toward a deal involving the decommissioning of its weapons, sources familiar with the ongoing talks with mediators in Cairo told AFP on Thursday. A Hamas source added, however, that they were still in the process of making amendments to the proposal. A Hamas source familiar with the talks told AFP that the movement is “awaiting the Israeli response to the amendments we recently submitted to the mediators.” Regarding the article concerning weapons, the Hamas source said that “some points were removed, and alternatives were proposed.” “There is broad understanding on the definition of heavy weapons, and a formula has been developed that emphasizes the concept of restricting and storing heavy weapons, disbanding armed groups and a simultaneous Israeli withdrawal,” the Hamas source added.
