Israel warns Hamas infiltration threatens regional security, demanding total disarmament before any Gaza governance transition.
The Hamas terrorist organization is reportedly seeking to integrate approximately 10,000 of its police operatives into a future Palestinian Arab governing framework in Gaza, according to sources cited by Reuters.
The proposed force would operate under a new Gaza police structure formed by the National Committee for Gaza Administration, a body reportedly receiving backing from the United States as part of broader post-conflict governance planning.
Israeli officials have expressed unequivocal opposition to any arrangement that allows Hamas operatives—under any label or faction—to become embedded in Gaza’s future administration. From Jerusalem’s perspective, integrating Hamas personnel would amount to legitimizing a violent terrorist infrastructure rather than dismantling it.
Officials in Jerusalem stressed that Israel’s position is rooted in a core security demand: Hamas must be fully disarmed, stripped of enforcement power, and prevented from reconstituting itself as a governing or paramilitary force. Any alternative, they warn, would perpetuate instability and leave Israel facing renewed threats from Gaza under a different façade.
Israel continues to insist that post-war governance in Gaza must ensure lasting security, accountability, and the complete removal of terrorist capabilities—conditions viewed as non-negotiable for regional stability.The Hamas terrorist organization is reportedly seeking to integrate approximately 10,000 of its police operatives into a future Palestinian Arab governing framework in Gaza, according to sources cited by Reuters.
