The assumption that disarming Hamas is a feasible precondition for peace overlooks the complex socio-political dynamics in the region. Inference: The insistence on disarmament may ignore the potential for political engagement with Hamas as a legitimate entity, which could be a critical factor in achieving lasting stability.
