Hamas refuses to disarm until Palestinian state established
August 2, 2025
Hamas 's refusal to disarm until a Palestinian state is established has resulted in violent clashes with Israeli security forces. The ongoing tension between the two groups has been exacerbated by Israel 's designation of Hamas as a terrorist organization. Hamas has accused Israel of engaging in apartheid practices and has called for a democratic state encompassing both Jews and Arabs to be established. The current situation has prompted international concern, with the United Nations calling for dialogue and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
