Hamas: disarmament issue is exaggerated and will be resolved by national consensus

Hamas says it is ready to open a “new page” in relations with the Palestinian Authority. A Hamas representative said the disarmament issue is exaggerated and will be resolved by national consensus. This comes after Hamas released 20 hostages and the bodies of 4 others to Israel. In return, Israel will release nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. Leaders at a Sharm el-Sheikh summit pledged support for Gaza’s reconstruction.
