Hamas said it would consider giving up missiles and rockets as part of a ceasefire with Israel, a sign the group is prepared to make further concessions toward the US-brokered roadmap for peace.

“If you’re referring to weapons with ranges beyond the buffer zone, then yes, that’s reasonable to discuss, because they could pose a threat to the other side,” Hamas official Musa Abu Marzouk said when asked by Al-Jazeera about disarmament. He spoke in an interview with the Doha-based TV station on Wednesday.

Hamas is working on an alternative to the Gaza stabilization force laid out in the plan unveiled by US President Donald Trump last month, Abu Marzouk said. The group’s counter proposal, he said, will prevent a “power vacuum” in the Palestinian territory, after fighting was mostly paused following the signing of the agreement.

Gaza could be run by a security force made up of Hamas police and security personnel, who would keep their small arms, he said, as well as other Palestinians.
