In the interview, Abu Marzouk also said he was open to discussing the potential disarmament of the terror group in Gaza: 1. “We are ready to speak about every issue,” 2. “Any issue that is put on the table, we need to speak about it.”
He declined, however, to answer specific questions about what a compromise on disarmament might look like.
The comments seemed to contradict more hardline statements from other public leaders of late, such as politburo member Osama Hamdan, who said this month that “the weapons of the resistance” were non-negotiable
Asked about Hamdan’s remarks, Abu Marzouk told The New York Times that no one leader could set the organization’s agenda.
