TOP News Brief
A potential Hamas decision to disarm would have implications extending far beyond Gaza, testing Iran's long-standing approach to regional influence through allied armed groups, according to Al-Monitor. The development would mark a significant shift for a movement that has long served as a key component of Iran's network of armed proxies across the Middle East. Hamas's possible move raises questions about how Iran might adapt its regional strategy if one of its most prominent partners relinquishes its military capabilities.
