Qaddoumi said the Palestinian resistance remains firmly committed to its approach and emphasized that the weapons of the Palestinian people are not a subject for negotiations with the Zionist regime.

He underlined that Hamas will not retreat from this position under any circumstances.

Qaddoumi categorically rejected any suggestion that the Palestinian resistance's weapons could become part of negotiations, reiterating that the issue is non-negotiable.

His remarks came amid media reports about ongoing efforts by regional and international mediators to advance the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

Recent reports have claimed that discussions have touched on issues including the future of Hamas' weapons and a phased Israeli military withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

While negotiations continue over the implementation of the next phase of the ceasefire framework, Palestinian factions have stressed that any agreement must safeguard Palestinian interests and include firm guarantees regarding Israeli commitments.
