TOP News Brief
Hamas has conditioned the inclusion of "heavy weapons" negotiations in a second phase of talks on several prerequisites, the Ma'an news agency reported. The conditions include a complete cessation of hostilities, full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, international administration of the territory, dismantling of militias, and reconstruction of Gaza.
The militant group's position signals that weapons-related discussions would only proceed after these initial demands are met in any subsequent negotiation phase.
