Hamas political bureau: group will not lay down arms at this time
Husam Badran of the Hamas political bureau told Al Jazeera that the group will not lay down its arms until comprehensive decisions are made alongside other Palestinian factions.
In his interview with Al Jazeera, Badran stated that “when this Palestinian committee [the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG)] comes to take over the Gaza Strip, there will be no visible weapons in the streets and alleys of Gaza except the official weapons belonging to this committee, which is the official Palestinian police.”
