Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Mardawi has denied media reports that the Palestinian resistance force has allegedly agreed to lay down arms under US President Donald Trump’s plan for settling the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas’ official Telegram account posted that Mahmoud Mardawi has denied false allegations by the Al Hadath television channel and other media outlets on the progress in the Gaza ceasefire talks and the movement’s position on the issue of the surrender of arms.
“We categorically deny the fabricated allegations published by several media outlets about the course of the ceasefire negotiations and Hamas’ position on handing over weapons,” senior Hamas member Mahmoud Mardawi said in a statement.
He called these media reports “baseless and aimed to distort Hamas’ stance and mislead public opinion.”
Mardawi urged media outlets to verify information and rely on credible sources, advising journalists to avoid falling for rumors or unverified claims.
Earlier in the day, the Al Arabiya and Al Hadath television channels reported, citing their sources, that Hamas had notified the United States that it agreed to lay down arms.
