Hamas’s armed wing reiterated on Monday that it would not surrender its weapons, a key issue expected to feature in talks later in the day between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Our people are defending themselves and will not give up their weapons as long as the occupation remains,” the new spokesman for the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, who has adopted the name of his late predecessor Abu Obeida, said in a video statement. –Agencies
