Hamas Publishes Conditions for Disarmament Talks: 3-Year Phased Timeline, UN Supervision, Israeli Redeployment

Hamas published its formal conditions for any disarmament discussions under Trump's Gaza plan on June 7, 2026. The conditions require: (1) a complete end to Israeli assassinations and targeted killings; (2) Israeli redeployment behind the October 2025 'Yellow Line' ceasefire demarcation; (3) UN-supervised independent Palestinian technocrats to administer Gaza's daily affairs without IDF interference; and (4) a phased 3-year disarmament timeline beginning with surrender of heavy weapons while Hamas retains light arms for self-defense. Israel categorically rejects anything short of full disarmament without preconditions as its position going into Phase 2. The publication of Hamas's formal conditions represents the clearest articulation yet of the parties' incompatible positions, suggesting Phase 2 negotiations remain deeply stalled despite the Cairo talks. Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey are attempting to find a sequencing formula that both parties could accept to begin substantive negotiations.
