Hamas Signals Potential Shift in Position, Offers Disarmament in Exchange for Independent Palestinian State
Exploring the Potential Shift in Hamas’ Position
Recent statements from some Hamas officials indicate a potential shift in the militant group’s position regarding the armed struggle against Israel. This comes as Israel continues its offensive on the Gaza Strip, which has been under Hamas rule since before the 1967 war. Previously, Hamas had called for the destruction of Israel, rejecting a two-state solution.
However, Basem Naim, a member of Hamas’ political bureau based in Istanbul, told CNN that the group would consider disarming if an independent Palestinian state were established. He stated that Hamas could be integrated into a future national army if certain conditions were met, including an independent state with its capital in Jerusalem and preserving the right of return for refugees.
This messaging from key Hamas members suggests a softening stance compared to their previous calls for a Palestinian state encompassing all of historic Palestine. Mustafa Barghouti, President of the Palestinian National Initiative, describes this potential development as significant since Palestinians resist occupation; thus, if there is no occupation, there would be no need to resist it.
Potential Implications and Reactions
The notion that Hamas may consider laying down arms raises questions abo

Bear attacks are becoming more common in Japan. The authorities are now warning of newly awakened, hungry bears in a bad mood.
But two of them picked the wrong person to mess with in Japan’s Nayoro on Thursday.
50-year-old Masato Fukuda was on his way to look at a waterfall in the mountainous region of the island of Hokkaido when he suddenly saw two brown bears through the foliage. Soon after, one of the bears attacked.

Farewell to the German core hurts – News
A year ago, Germany decommissioned the country’s last three nuclear power plants. “None of the horror scenarios came true,” Habeck now enjoys. “Today we see that the electricity supply is still guaranteed, electricity prices have fallen even after the end of nuclear energy and CO₂ emissions are also decreasing,” adds the green politician.
But is it really true? the diary asks Image.
“One thing is clear, even if it is difficult to quantify precisely: if nuclear power plants continued to operate, electricity prices in Germany would be lower than they are today,” says Professor Manuel Frondel of the Leibniz Institute for Economic Research .
The head of the nuclear authority Drábová: We need four units and small reactors

In periods of high demand for electricity but lack of supply from renewable sources due to the effects of windy and sunny weather, nuclear power plants would have a strong dampening effect on the price of electricity, while in periods of abundant wind and sunshine there is almost no damping effect.
“The closure of nuclear power plants in recent years means a clear loss of prosperity for Germany in the billions,” Frondel has no doubts.
In her analysis, Professor Veronika Grimm from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg assumes that electricity costs will not decrease in the coming years, despite falling production costs, but will increase slightly until 2040.
In 2023, for the first time since 2002, the Federal Republic will return to being a net importer of electricity. It imported 12 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity more than it exported. In 2022, Germany still exported 29 billion kWh net.
“Instead of producing cheap nuclear energy ourselves, we now import more and more electricity from abroad, paradoxically often also including nuclear energy from France,” explains Frondel.
However, the Ministry of Economy sees no reason for concern. “With the expansion of renewable energy sources, conventional power plants will be used less and less at home and abroad, due to the interconnection of European markets. This will reduce the import of electricity into Germany and increase the export of electricity from Germany,” Bildu said.
Germany decided to abolish nuclear energy in 2011 after the accident at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant. The stated reasons were
