Report: France and Saudi Arabia planning proposal to disarm Hamas

Bloomberg is reporting that France and Saudi Arabia are working on a plan for the disarmament of Hamas.

Sources involved in the discussions told Bloomberg that according to the plan, Hamas would still maintain some political power in Gaza.

According to the report, the Saudis have presented the proposal to Hamas, although its unclear if French officials have contacted the group.

In April, Haaretz reported that French President Emmanuel Macron was making significant efforts to advance a ceasefire deal. Part of this was a push for normalisation between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
