15:20Now PlayingDrop Site’s Jeremy Scahill highlighted his new exclusive report with colleague Jawa Ahmad, featuring remarks from senior Hamas official Basem Naim, whom they interviewed about the latest U.S. and Israeli demands for disarmament.
Trump and Netanyahu are now demanding full demilitarization, with Netanyahu threatening a return to “full scale war” if even rifles remain. Naim told Drop Site the resistance’s position is unchanged: no unilateral disarmament, and no demilitarization outside a political process that leads to the establishment of a Palestinian state and a national armed force capable of defending it.
Scahill also detailed the “pervasive lie” espoused by many Western officials and media outlets that Hamas agreed to Trump’s sweeping 20-point plan or to demilitarize. He noted that Hamas and Islamic Jihad only signed a narrow October agreement covering a captive exchange, cessation of fire agreement, limited Israeli withdrawal, and the resumption of life essentials into Gaza.
