World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I usually have 0 confidence in the Arab states to do anything good, but this headline is misleading. What's being called for here is for Hamas to disarm and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority in the process of creating a Palestinian state, which is like, duh of course independent paramilitaries shouldn't exist inside a sovereign state. It's technically a call for Hamas to disarm, but they had to have known what impression this headline would give. Fuck NYT.
Why should palestinians drop arms before occupation end? How can you say that when israeli support ethenically cleansing palestinians?
Creating a sovereign Palestinian state is ending the occupation. Also note that I never said Palestinians should lay down their arms; I only said that when/if a democratic state is created those arms should be in the hands of that democratic state, not unelected paramilitaries.
TL;DR: Israel fucks off then Palestinian paramilitaries disband, not the other way around.
Arab countries and the west want hamas to disarm before the state is created and if the state ever got created they want it to have no army.
When you keep sending arms to israel and have great trading with them there is no reason,why israel will ever allow a state
This declaration explicitly states otherwise though? You can just, like, go read it. It's pretty milquetoast stuff.
False , this is the order 1- Hamas ceases power, disarms, and hands authority to PA
2 - PA conducts elections to govern all Palestinian territories
3 - Israel ends occupation and commits to a two-state solution with security guarantees.
This would just be another failed accord like Oslo accords where the PA respect it's commitment but Israel continue the occupation with even less resistance. Then the west and Arab countries continue to have great unofficial relations

Why would Hamas yield power back to the PNA after ruling Gaza for 18 years? The good of the people?
I dunno, ask them.
More seriously, Hamas's claim to legitimacy is their fight for Palestinian self-determination. If that's back on the table, they won't be able to maintain their authoritarian state anymore, because both Palestinians and the international community will want them gone, or at least out of power so democratic elections can take place. Also, this is pretty much what they accepted in the Jan 2025 ceasefire; it'd be a political impossibility for them to maintain undemocratic rule without active Israeli aggression and they know that.
TL;DR: Because they'll have no other choice. Also I'm not sure what this has to do with my comment.
