Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya said in interviews that the Gaza ceasefire roadmap the group agreed to includes eventual establishment of a Palestinian state, though he did not directly confirm whether Hamas would disarm, saying the issue of weapons would be addressed as part of a broader package tied to ceasefire implementation and independence. He also dismissed Israel's upcoming election as likely to be fought using Gaza's 'blood,' saying Palestinians have suffered under all Israeli parties. Separately, Hamas criticized Trump's 'Board of Peace' for refusing to work with UNRWA in Gaza, accusing the board of aligning with Israel by excluding the main UN agency for Palestinians from reconstruction and aid operations.
