Hamas or other Gaza-based armed groups take formal steps to disarm under the existing ceasefire framework.

  This turns on whether Hamas accepts disarmament before losing its coercive control of Gaza.

  • Hamas’s leadership and other armed factions would have to formally commit, with mediators able to define and verify initial weapons steps by March 2027.
  • Armed groups rarely disarm after ceasefires without a credible governing successor, security guarantees, and enforcement; those conditions remain weak in Gaza.
  • A binding Arab-backed Gaza administration with deployed security forces and reconstruction funds conditioned on disarmament would sharply raise the odds.

  Hamas agreeing to any visible, framework-tied disarmament process in the next six months.

  • Hamas has never taken formal disarmament steps after 2008-09, 2014 or 2021 ceasefires and still holds its arsenal after the Oct 2025 halt.
  • Egypt/Qatar/US mediators lack an enforcement clause and have six months left; Israel’s re-invasion threat is not currently credible.
  • Only a sudden Hamas leadership collapse or explicit US-Israeli ultimatum would move the odds, neither of which is on the calendar.

  Hinges on whether political cover, security guarantees, and phased incentives let Hamas accept symbolic disarmament steps before March 2027.

  • Hamas has repeatedly refused full disarmament, framing weapons as resistance leverage, so formal steps require a major political shift.
  • Precedent from prior truces (2014, 2021) shows disarmament demands stall for years without enforcement mechanisms or trusted guarantors.
  • A credible Arab-led stabilization force with Israeli buy-in and US pressure could unlock partial token disarmament steps, which is the main swing factor.

  Disarmament requires Hamas to surrender its only leverage while Israel offers no credible path to statehood or reconstruction.

  • Hamas has conditioned any disarmament on Palestinian statehood and full Israeli withdrawal, which no Israeli coalition has offered as of October 2026.
  • The October 2025 framework created a technocratic Gaza administration but left the question of heavy weapons and tunnels entirely unresolved, with no enforcement…
  • Historical base rate for non-state armed groups voluntarily disarming under a ceasefire without political settlement is very low, under 15% within 18 months.

  Hamas views its weapons as core to its survival and leverage, making voluntary disarmament an existential red line it won't cross.

  • Hamas leadership and PIJ require sovereign Palestinian control and an Israeli exit before even discussing weapon surrenders.
  • Non-state armed groups rarely disarm formally during fragile truces without massive external enforcement or total defeat.
  • Credible signals of disarmament would only emerge if a technocratic Gaza administration takes control with Arab security backing.

  Hamas has never voluntarily disarmed; no enforcement mechanism exists in the ceasefire framework to compel it.

  • Hamas's organizational survival depends on armed capability; no precedent of a Palestinian faction voluntarily surrendering weapons under negotiation.
  • The ceasefire framework lacks a verification body or enforcement timeline for disarmament, making 'formal steps' structurally undefined.
  • Even if leadership wanted to comply, factional fragmentation (PIJ, PFLP, local militias) means no single actor could deliver Gaza-wide disarmament.
