'NYT: US may allow Hamas to keep some arms initially'

 The United States is requiring Hamas to hand over all weapons capable of striking Israel, although it would allow the Palestinian group to keep some small weapons initially, The New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing a draft plan and officials familiar with the matter.

The sources said that the US-led team, which includes US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, plans to share the document with Hamas within weeks.

However, the sources did not reveal details on who would take possession of the heavy weapons that Hamas would have to surrender, or how the disarmament process would be carried out.
