00:00In other news, Hamas' armed wing has rejected calls to disarm,
00:04saying such demands are an attempt to continue Israel's genocide against Palestinians.
00:09In a televised statement, its spokesman Abu Obedar says
00:13raising the issue of weapons will not be accepted.
00:18He said raising it before Israel fully implements the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire
00:23would amount to continuing the war against the people of Palestine.
00:27Hamas has previously told mediators it will not discuss disarmament
00:31without guarantees that Israel will fully withdraw from Gaza.
00:35The issue remains a key sticking point in efforts to implement
00:38U.S. President Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan for the enclave.
00:42More than 700 Palestinians have been reported to be killed in Israeli attacks
00:47since the ceasefire took effect in October.
