Israel issues 60-day disarmament ultimatum to Hamas

Israel has issued a 60-day ultimatum for Hamas to disarm, threatening to resume military action if the group does not comply, as stated by Israeli Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs. This ultimatum, reportedly requested by the US, may coincide with a February 19 meeting of President Trump’s Board of Peace. Since the October 10 ceasefire, which halted a two-year war in Gaza, violations by Israeli forces have resulted in significant Palestinian casualties. Hamas has rejected disarmament, advocating for the storage or freezing of weapons instead.
