Według licznych niedawnych doniesień mediów arabskich, żądanie rozbrojenia przedstawiono Hamasowi podczas rozmów w sprawie zawieszenia broni w Strefie Gazy, przedstawiciele Hamasu odrzucili jednak to żądanie. [1]
Do stanowiska Hamasu przyłączają się dziennikarze w Katarze, którzy nazywają broń palestyńskiego ruchu oporu „egzystencjalną koniecznością”, o którą „nie można się targować”; nazywają również zachowanie jej „honorem”, a „wyrzeczenie się jej jest upokorzeniem”, jak również środkiem, który „spowodował duże straty dla okupantów”.
Szczególnie zauważalne wśród tych dziennikarzy było stanowisko Dżabara Al-Harmiego, redaktora naczelnego rządowej gazety „Al-Sharq”, który wezwał Hamas, by nie składał broni i nie wyparł się ataku na Izrael z 7 października 2023 r., ponieważ „to, co zostało zabrane siłą, zostanie przywrócone tylko siłą”.
Wezwał Hamas do działania jak talibowie w Afganistanie, którzy pomimo poświęceń nigdy nie oddali swojej broni i „uzbrojeni od stóp do głów” zmusili USA do zasiadania z nimi przy stole negocjacyjnym, aby omówić „nie to, co [USA] osiągną i co zyskają, ale jak uciekną [z Afganistanu]”.
Dodał, że trzymanie się przez Hamas broni uniemożliwi Izraelowi odrodzenie się po 7 października. Dodał, że w każdym razie zniknięcie Izraela jest bliższe, niż ludzie myślą.
Należy zauważyć, że Al-Harmi ma również poglądy antysemickie i wzywał do zniszczenia Izraela. W artykułach w gazecie i na swoim koncie X regularnie wyraża poparcie dla Hamasu i jego ataku z 7 października 2023 r., w którym zginęło 1200 osób, a 251 zabrano do Gazy jako zakładników. [2] Odzwierciedla to absolutne poparcie Kataru dla Hamasu. [3]

Al-Sharq Editor Al-Harmi On X, May 24, 2025: Like The Taliban, Hamas Must Not Give Up Its Weapons – And Must Not Disavow Its October 7 Attack
Al-Sharq editor Jabar Al-Harmi called on Hamas not to give up its weapons and not to disavow its October 7, 2023 attack. He likened Hamas’s situation to that of the Afghan Taliban, who never relinquished their weapons and even, he said, forced the U.S. to negotiate with them by force of their weapons, in addition to „defeating Russia and then the U.S. and the West all together” who today seek „the love of the Afghans – love that comes by force of arms.”
In a May 24, 2025 post on X, Al-Harmi wrote: „Had the Afghans agreed to solutions of submission during the invasion of their country by two of the strongest countries – the U.S.S.R. in 1979 and the U.S. in 2002 [sic[4]] – and had they said 'We have no strength against these two countries, we are a poor country, and if we are in a position of inferiority, we have no weapons and the world is set against us,’ they would not today have a state that is respected by all those who invaded them previously.
„The Afghans opposed [the invaders] with their force and might, defeating Russia and then the U.S. and the West all together. Although the invaders used the most criminal weapons, including weapons banned by international conventions, the Afghans did not surrender, despite all the victims. This is what ultimately forced the invaders to sit at the negotiating table with them, by force of arms – not to negotiate over what it [the U.S.] would achieve and what it would gain, but how it would escape [from Afghanistan].
„This did not happen by virtue of the Afghans’ consent to disarm – it was by virtue of their strong opposition to the invaders and their defense by means of everything they had, and by means of the weapons of the enemies that they had seized. This is the path to liberation. What was taken by force will be restored only by force, and anything else is an attempt to anesthetize and distract the occupied peoples. Today, Russia and the U.S. seek the love of the Afghans – a love that comes by force of arms.
„Consent to disarm the resistance in Gaza and to disavow the October 7 [attack] means that the enemy [Israel] will revive, [and will continue to exist] for the next 100 years. Even if the Palestinian people is wounded, and if the Gazans are dead, do not think that the enemy is relaxed – on the contrary, its fear is greater, and it is now focusing on its entity’s future. Will this entity, which is [weaker than] a spiderweb,[5] survive, or will it disappear and not see out its eighth decade? Its disappearance is nearer than you think. 'If you should be suffering – so are they suffering as you are suffering’ – but the difference [between the two comes at the end of the verse]: 'You have hope of reward, help, and support from Allah, which they cannot hope for.’[6]„[7]
Al-Harmi On X, April 14, 2025: The „Weapons Of The Resistance” In Gaza Are Not For Sale And Are Nonnegotiable
In a previous X post, on April 14, 2025, Al-Harmi rejected the demand that Hamas disarm, using the same parallel to the Taliban’s refusal to negotiate over disarming. He wrote:
„The resistance in Gaza, whether Hamas or another [resistance movement], will not fall into the trap of disarmament, no matter what guarantees [it receives]…
„[In the case of the] Taliban in Afghanistan, the U.S. tried to set this [disarmament] as the main condition for negotiations, [but the] Taliban would not negotiate at all about this, and the U.S. was forced to go back to the negotiating table with the Taliban while the latter was armed from head to toe. They told the U.S.: 'It was only the weapons that brought you to sit at the negotiating table with us. Therefore, the resistance must not negotiate over its weapons in any way.’ The weapons of the resistance in Gaza are not for sale and are nonnegotiable.”[8]
Article In Al-Sharq, April 23, 2025: The Weapons Of The Resistance Are An Existential Necessity And An Influential Means Of Action
Opposition to disarming Hamas was also seen in many articles in the Qatari government press. For example, Palestinian writer Hadir Rashad explained in his column in Al-Sharq, under the headline „The Weapons Of The Resistance Are Not For Bargaining,” that „it is not easy to raise the issue of disarming the resistance without this proposal crashing into the obvious wall of reality, according to which weapons in the hands of peoples under occupation are not a choice but an existential necessity… The weapons of the resistance in Gaza will never be a mere symbol or slogan – they are an influential means of action that caused the occupation heavy losses in lives and in [its] economy…
„The call to disarm the resistance in Palestine before the occupation departs is a call for surrender, not peace; for permanent consent to the aggression and not for stopping it; for apparent calm whose hidden meaning is seizing the trump card from the hands of the people that has only force of will and arms.”[9]
Article In Al-Watan, May 16, 2025: Weapons Are Honor, Relinquishing Them Is Humiliation
In his May 16, 2025 column in the Qatari government daily Al-Watan, Palestinian writer Samir Al-Barghouti presented the results of a Palestinian poll that showed widespread Palestinian support for Hamas amid the decline in the prestige of the Palestinian Authority and of Fatah. He stated that „82% of the Palestinian [respondents] said that they oppose handing over the weapons of the resistance.” He summarized the survey, stating: „Since the first and second intifadas, and the [Al-Aqsa] Flood [the October 7 attack], Palestinians have believed that they have no other choice but resistance, and that weapons are honor, and relinquishing them is humiliation.”[10]
