Hamas said to seek role in Gaza for its police officers, whom Israel views as terrorists

Hard no to the security personnel, teachers, administrators, or anyone listed in the files the IDF found on the fighter rolls or who was involved in the 10/7 invasion or housing hostages afterward. Low level bureaucrats and janitors may continue employment. Also, all in-building tunnel accesses to be revealed to the IDF for destruction, unless you want to wait for it to be destroyed from the other end. Apply to the Hamas HQ for funds to rebuild — monies to be taken from the personal fortunes of the Sinwar clan, et al. [IsraelTimes] Terror group tells 40,000 civil servants, including 10,000 security personnel, to cooperate with new technocratic government, assures them of efforts to keep them employed
Hamas
 ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
is seeking to incorporate its 10,000 coppers into a new US-backed technocratic Paleostinian administration for Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, sources say, a demand likely to be opposed by Israel.
Israel regards all elements of Hamas, including its police, as components of the terrorist organization. The coppers’ potential integration into Gaza’s new government comes as the terror group faces pressure to surrender its arms, a demand it has previously rejected.
Hamas retains control of just under half of Gaza following an October ceasefire deal brokered by US President Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election. Then he beat Kamala while dodging bullets...
. The agreement, laid out in Trump’s 20-point plan to end the war, ties further Israeli troop withdrawals to the disarmament of Hamas and the demilitarization of Gaza.
The ceasefire, now in its second phase, calls for the day-to-day governance of Gaza to be handed to the newly formed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, a Paleostinian technocratic body with US oversight that is meant to exclude Hamas. Several other bodies will oversee Gaza under the umbrella of the Board of Peace, a group of world leaders inaugurated by Trump last week.
In a letter to staff on Sunday, seen by Rooters, Gaza’s Hamas-run government urged its more than 40,000 civil servants and security personnel to cooperate with the NCAG. It assured them it was working to incorporate them into the new government.
That would include the roughly 10,000-strong Hamas-run police force, four sources familiar with the matter said, a demand that has not been previously reported. Many of them have been patrolling the western half of Gaza as Hamas reasserts its grip in areas under its control.
It was not immediately clear whether Israel, which has adamantly rejected any Hamas involvement in Gaza’s future, would agree to the civil and security workers’ inclusion in the NCAG.
Israel draws no distinction between the military wing of Hamas and the terror group’s police and internal security forces. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
According to the IDF, members of Hamas’s police and internal security forces participated in the terror group’s October 7, 2023, terror onslaught, in which 1,200 people were massacred in southern Israel and 251 kidnapped. During the war, Israel has repeatedly targeted and killed top commanders and other members of Hamas’s internal security forces, as well as members of its political wing.
MAJOR STICKING POINTS REMAIN
Hamas’s plans for its police force and workers point to wide gaps between Hamas and Israel as Trump pushes ahead with his plans.
Last week, Trump hosted a signing ceremony to establish the Board of Peace that will serve as a transitional administration to set a governance framework and coordinate funding for the redevelopment of Gaza. The framework includes a provision barring "foreign terrorist organizations" from participating in governance.
Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem told Rooters the terror group was prepared to hand over governance to the 15-member NCAG and its chair, Ali Shaath, with immediate effect.
"We (have) full confidence that it will operate on the basis of benefiting from qualified personnel and not wasting the rights of anyone who worked during the previous period," Qassem said, referring to the inclusion of the 40,000 personnel.
The four sources said Hamas is open to the NCAG restructuring ministries and sending some workers into retirement. Mass dismissals risked chaos, the sources said.
Hamas and NCAG chair Shaath have not yet met in person to discuss governance, a Hamas official said. Shaath’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
Another issue was whether Sami Nasman, the former Paleostinian Authority general assigned to oversee security under the NCAG, would be able to operate in the enclave effectively, a Paleostinian official said.
Nasman, originally from Gaza, moved to the West Bank after Hamas violent mostly peacefully routed Paleostinian Authority forces from the enclave and seized control in 2007 following a brief civil war. A Hamas court in Gaza later sentenced him in absentia, accusing him of instigating chaos. Nasman denies the charge.
POSSIBILITY OF NEUTRALIZING ARMS
The question of whether Hamas’s police force will be allowed to continue operating in Gaza is arising as Trump and Netanyahu have again called for the group to relinquish its arms as part of the ceasefire’s second phase.
Trump said Monday that Hamas helped Israel locate the body of the final Israeli hostage in Gaza, Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, while reiterating his demand for the terror group to disarm.
"They worked very hard to get the body back," Trump said of Hamas in an interview with the Axios news site. "They were working with Israel on it. Now we have to disarm Hamas like they promised."
In remarks to the Knesset on Monday, Netanyahu said that the next phase of the Gaza deal "is not reconstruction."
Rather, he said, "the next phase is demilitarization of the Strip and disarming Hamas."
Trump’s administration wants to see heavy weapons decommissioned immediately, with "personal arms registered and decommissioned by sector as (the) NCAG police become capable of guaranteeing personal security," according to a document shared by the White House last week.
A US official said on Tuesday that Hamas fighters who agree would be granted some sort of amnesty.
The terror group is still believed to possess rockets, which several diplomats estimated to number in the hundreds. It is also estimated to possess thousands of light weapons, including rifles.
Hamas recently agreed to discuss disarmament with other Paleostinian factions and with mediators, sources said. However,
a hangover is the wrath of grapes...
two Hamas officials told Rooters that neither Washington nor the mediators had presented the terror group with any detailed or concrete disarmament proposal.
A Paleostinian official close to the disarmament talks said the US had approached Hamas to explore potential disarmament mechanisms involving parties including Israel as well as Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
, Egypt, and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
, the three regional countries mediating the ceasefire.
"Hamas has spoken about the possibility of neutralizing arms, which could be achieved if there is a truce, and it is ready for a long-term ceasefire — five years or a little longer," the official said.
"But Hamas strongly believes that a serious political negotiation process must begin on Paleostinian statehood, whereby weapons and fighters would come under the authority of the State of Paleostine," the official said.
Israel’s government rejects the establishment of a Paleostinian state.
Hamas is not the only terror group in the enclave to possess arms. A source in a Gaza faction allied with Hamas said other terror groups were discussing disarmament but worried about being left defenseless.
It’s hard to find people to run Gaza who weren’t in Hamas or PA, says Netanyahu
[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu argues that neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority are happy with the makeup of the 12-member National Committee for the Administration of Gaza.
“They took old families, not everyone, those who aren’t refugees, and took generally businessmen,” he says of the efforts to find people to sit on the committee.
“There’s a simple truth in Gaza,” says Netanyahu. “They either worked for Hamas, or they worked for the PA. If you try to look for a water engineer who wasn’t in either, you won’t find one.”
Netanyahu stresses that Israel is vetting officials to make sure those from Hamas’s military wing aren’t included.
“The important thing is, who will pay their salaries, and the most important thing is to take apart Hamas and not let the PA enter,” he says.
Netanyahu stresses no Gaza reconstruction before disarmament and no Palestinian state
[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses concerns surrounding phase two of US President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan, asserting that Israel’s political and security interests will be met.
“Now we are focusing on completing the two remaining missions: dismantling Hamas’s weapons and demilitarizing Gaza of arms and tunnels,” the premier says.
“As I agreed with President Trump… there are only two possibilities: either this will be done the easy way or it will be done the hard way, but in any case, it will happen,” he says. “I am already hearing the statements that we will allow Gaza’s reconstruction before demilitarization. That will not happen.”
“I am hearing that we will bring Turkish soldiers and Qatari soldiers into Gaza. That too will not happen,” he adds.
“I am hearing that I will allow the establishment of a Palestinian state in Gaza. That did not happen, and it will not happen,” Netanyahu says, with extra emphasis. “I think all of you know that the one who repeatedly stopped the establishment of a Palestinian state is me, together with my colleagues in the governments I have led. Even today and tomorrow, we will not allow this.”
“Israel will maintain security control over the entire area from the Jordan River to the sea, and that applies to the Gaza Strip as well,” he concludes.
