Hamas has stated it will disarm only if Israel fully withdraws from the Gaza Strip and ends its military campaign, as required by the October 2025 ceasefire agreement. The group has made the implementation of the disarmament process contingent on Israel fulfilling its obligations, including a phased withdrawal and the entry of the National Committee and the International Stabilization Force.
The disarmament process is linked to a phased Israeli withdrawal and will not begin until the Sharm El-Sheikh Protocol obligations are completed. The National Committee will oversee the weapons inventory under Palestinian control, with external monitoring but no direct intervention by foreign actors.
The International Stabilization Force is tasked with verifying compliance, monitoring humanitarian access, and performing non-policing duties as requested, but it will not conduct training or policing. The transition between phases depends on verified completion of prior obligations, with the International Verification Committee responsible for oversight and timetable finalisation.
