Gulf States Warn Gaza Ceasefire Will Collapse Unless Hamas Disarms: Report

A Saudi diplomat speaking with Hebrew media has accused Hamas of destroying Gaza and causing a catastrophe ‘worse than the Nakba’

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain are warning that the Gaza ceasefire is at risk of collapsing if Hamas continues to refuse disarmament, according to diplomatic sources cited by Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom on 16 October.

Riyadh has even threatened to halt participation in the ceasefire process – including reconstruction – unless the disarmament is enforced, the report claimed.

The Gulf states are frustrated with the Qatari, Turkish, and Egyptian mediators’ “leniency” on the issue of Hamas’s weapons; Arab and US diplomats told the Israeli newspaper. They reportedly relayed these messages to the White House and to US President Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and former advisor Jared Kushner.

The report says the three Arab states have complained about “the systematic assassination of rivals from competing clans, armed displays in the streets, extortion of local merchants, and statements by senior officials flatly rejecting the prospect of disarmament.”

Hamas has been cracking down on armed gangs and militias that cooperated with Israel during the war in Gaza. These gangs include elements from Gaza’s big clans and families – including the Dughmush family.
