A Turkish man was arrested in the UK on US charges of conspiring to provide material support and financing to Hamas through a sham humanitarian organization. The U.S. government alleges he collaborated with Hamas' senior leader Ghazi Hamad since 2023.

Hamas has stated it will not disarm in Gaza until Israeli forces withdraw, according to a senior official who spoke to Al Jazeera. The group emphasized that a Palestinian national committee, not Israel, will oversee the disarmament process, while accusing Israel of violating a ceasefire agreement through sustained bombing campaigns.

Hamas official Ghazi Hamad stated the group will remain an integral part of the Palestinian national fabric, noting their disarmament agreement was made under difficult circumstances and that they will continue their national responsibilities.

A Hamas official stated that the group made concessions for the Palestinian people to protect them from Israeli hostile measures and criminal plans. The official, Ghazi Hamad, emphasized this during an interview with Al Jazeera.

Hamas will hand over its weapons to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza if Israeli forces withdraw and aid and goods flow increases. Ghazi Hamad, a Hamas official, stated this conditional agreement to Reuters.

Hamas stated it will not disarm in Gaza before Israeli forces withdraw, with a senior official specifying that Israel will have no role in the disarmament process. The group emphasized that a Palestinian national committee will oversee weapon management, while Israel's government has not commented but previously indicated no plans to leave Gaza.

An agreement for Hamas and armed groups in Gaza to disarm was reached, with Hamas officials demanding Israel's withdrawal before proceeding. The Iranian army attacked US centers in Kuwait using drones, while the Israeli army obstructed Lebanese military deployment in southern Lebanon and conducted attacks in nearby towns.

A senior Hamas official stated that Israel must withdraw from Gaza before the movement considers disarmament. Ghazi Hamad emphasized that the process would be managed by a Palestinian national committee, with no role for Israeli forces.
