The NYT reported on the possible US permission for Hamas to keep some of its weapons.

The United States is considering temporarily allowing the Palestinian Hamas movement to keep some of its small arms as part of the peace process in Gaza. This was reported on February 10 by The New York Times (NYT), citing sources.

"The United States demands that Hamas hand over all weapons capable of striking Israel, but will allow the group to retain some small arms, at least initially," the publication says.

According to the newspaper, American negotiators plan to hand over to Hamas in the coming weeks a proposal according to which the Palestinian group should hand over all weapons capable of striking Israel. However, sources warn that the parameters of the offer may be changed.
