The issue of collecting and storing heavy weapons after the main provisions of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip have been implemented will be handled exclusively by the Palestinian side, Hamas' representative in Iran Khaled Qaddoumi told a TASS correspondent. After that, the Palestinian side will be responsible for collecting and storing weapons. According to Qaddoumi, Hamas’ position on heavy weapons reflects a pan-Palestinian consensus, not just the movement’s viewpoint. "This position is not just Hamas’ position, nor is it that of a single faction; rather, it is a pan-Palestinian consensus," he emphasized. Qaddoumi recalled that, after US President Donald Trump presented his proposal for peace and an end to the war, Hamas participated in negotiations but refused to discuss disarmament until the political conditions for a settlement were met.
