Nickolay Mladenov, the head diplomat in charge of the Board of Peace's subcommittee on the Gaza ceasefire, stressed on Friday that all armed groups in the Gaza Strip must disarm.
Mladenov was responding on social media to a post by Aaron Goren, an analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, who wondered why Mladenov refused to respond to a question on whether reports that Hamas will only be partially disarmed as part of US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan are accurate.
“I've made it very clear that all militants in Gaza need to be disarmed and there is no other option, unless we want to see a return to war or a continuation of the misery that is today," responded Mladenov.
“But," he continued, “I will not speak publicly as to what our strategy is as there are too many moving parts at this point. I hope you understand. We have a framework that has been agreed by the mediators and the US and it needs to be implemented."
The comments follow a report in The New York Times that the US is considering allowing Hamas to retain light weapons.
Responding to the report, a senior official involved in the Board of Peace initiative told Ynet that disarmament would proceed in stages, with small arms being the last category addressed.
According to the official, Hamas has resisted surrendering all weapons at once, arguing that rival clans in Gaza could target its members if it disarms immediately.

Oh there will eventually be
‘Peace and Security’
As wildly impossible as it seems
Then the “fun” really begins...
And the “fun” will be anything BUT
Luke 21:34-36
Everything you said is spot on.
How did Hamas get those weapons in the first place? You can be sure that the pipeline will reopen soon after they are “disarmed”.
Garrisons, and armed Israeli citizens. Anything less will invite another attack.
“lasting peace” would require Islam to renounce the Jihad thing.
Not.
Bloody.
Likely.
There has been no peace for the Jews in the Middle East for the past 2000 years. Disarming militants, which is contrary to the natural right to keep and bear arms, won’t result in lasting peace.
elimination of all terrorists, their enablers and funders is the only path to any possible peace
and yes it can be done (but it will time...)
Why would ‘gun control’ work in Gaza?
“Gun control’ is typically a fantasy of deluded leftists.
It surprises me anyone who posts here could think it could be made to work.
The Economist said there are about 7,000 tons of unexploded bombs in Gaza.
“elimination of all terrorists, their enablers and funders is the only path to any possible peace
“and yes it can be done (but it will time...)”
Residents of Gaza have been fed a diet of hate for as long as they have had teeth in their mouths.
Even if it could work, and it can’t, it won’t happen. “Lasting peace” is anathema to Hamas.
I agree with the headline to a point.
I don’t seriously think there’s a snowball’s chance that it’s going to happen.
“elimination of all terrorists...” Yuh. The terrorists will sure cooperate with being eliminated. Yup. Did Mladenov just fall out of a coconut tree?

““Gun control’ is typically a fantasy of deluded leftists.”
Let’s take a sh!t-load of deluded leftists, and parachute them in to Gaza. They’ll sort things out mos koshee.
yes that is unfortunately correct
the odds seem very very very low but perhaps it may be possible to get them to listen long enough to see that their “religious” leaders have grossly lied to them ....
Total defeat of Hamas might cause an epiphany, and reeducation for a few decades. That’s what changed Germany. But just another jive cease fire, not a chance. Hamas touts it as a victory.
See the statue outside the UN called “The Guardian of Peace and Security.”

It’s a griffin.
“Disarmament of all Gaza militants essential for lasting peace”
Not Gonna Happen.
Agreed.
A griffin has an eagle’s head. The UN Guardian of Peace and Security has a feline head. It represents the beast describing the Babylon system:
“Three particular passages of Scripture have been associated with the “guardian of peace and security” statue at the UN building. Daniel 7:2–4 relates a vision of beasts, representing governments; one is depicted with a body like a lion and wings like an eagle. Revelation 13:2 symbolically refers to a beast given power and authority by Satan. First Thessalonians 5:3 speaks of the end times when people will say, “There is peace and security,” only to experience unexpected ruin.”
