Hamas Seeks to Create "a Semblance of Disarmament"
(The Times-UK) Gabrielle Weiniger - An Israeli security source said that Hamas was collecting light weaponry from civilians by setting up checkpoints in areas it controls, in the face of a U.S.-led call to surrender arms. Ofer Guterman, a senior researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University, said the effort by Hamas to create a "proxy" stockpile "creates a semblance of disarmament, while the major armed factions themselves do not dismantle their arsenal."
