Al Jazeera publishes draft agreement on weapons management in Gaza Strip

Al Jazeera has published a draft agreement between Hamas and Palestinian factions outlining weapons management in Gaza. The draft stipulates that heavy weapons, military production sites, depots, and tunnels will be collected and stored by a national committee, contingent on completion of Sharm al-Sheikh protocol commitments. Implementation requires deployment of an international stabilization force and is linked to gradual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. A 14-day timeline will be established for the collection process, supervised by an international verification committee. The draft emphasizes no weapons will be transferred to Israel or non-Palestinian entities, with the national committee maintaining sole control. The agreement ties weapons handling to progress toward Palestinian self-determination and statehood.
