Hamas has denied earlier reports that it is prepared to disarm under international supervision in accordance with US President Donald Trump's peace plan, Interfax reports.
Hamas political bureau member Mahmoud al-Mardawi said the reports were "fabricated" and "baseless," aimed at distorting the movement's position and misleading the public.
In turn, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atty emphasized that the issue of disarming Hamas is "a Palestinian issue that will be resolved within a Palestinian framework," the newspaper Asharq al-Awsat reports.
According to a Hamas press release, a Hamas delegation has already arrived in Egypt to negotiate a ceasefire. Indirect talks between Israel and Hamas are expected to begin on Monday, October 6.
Earlier, a Hamas source told Al Arabiya that the group had begun collecting the remains of dead Israeli hostages for possible handover. Through Egyptian intermediaries, the movement also appealed to Israel to cease airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.
US President Donald Trump described the progress of the peace process between Israel and Hamas as successful, while calling on the parties to accelerate the implementation of his plan. On the social media platform TruthSocial, he wrote that "these negotiations have been very successful and are moving quickly. Technical teams will meet again on Monday in Egypt to work out and finalize the details. Phase one should be completed this week, and I urge everyone to accelerate."
The talks are being mediated by Egypt and are aimed at achieving a temporary ceasefire and stabilizing the situation in the Gaza Strip.
