Gaza Weapon Draft and Israeli Withdrawal
The draft of Item Eight regarding the resistance's weapons in the Gaza Strip reveals an agreement between Hamas and Palestinian factions on a phased process to contain and store heavy weaponry. This process is linked to the implementation of other obligations outlined in the Sharm El Sheikh Protocol, including sites related to production, tunnels, and warehouses, under the management of the National Committee with the participation of the factions. The process requires the Committee to enter Gaza and the deployment of an international monitoring force before starting. Each phase is to be connected to a gradual Israeli withdrawal, executed sequentially and under international supervision, with weapons being stored rather than handed over to Israel. The plan involves the factions in identifying locations and standards, with the commencement of the process contingent upon the completion of humanitarian and security commitments. The approach remains subject to Israeli approval, which insists on comprehensive disarmament before withdrawal. Nonetheless, the process is viewed as an important step toward a gradual Palestinian management of arms and the reestablishment of control over the Gaza Strip.
