BEIRUT (Dispatches) -- Qatar and Turkey have proposed a two-year plan allowing Hamas to gradually disarm, raising U.S. interest but facing strong Israeli opposition, Hebrew media reported on Monday.

The initiative envisions weapons being handed to the Palestinian Authority or stored under international supervision, echoing Egypt’s earlier plan and the IRA decommissioning model. The report said that U.S. officials have lately floated the idea of “decommissioning” weapons instead of a complete disarmament.
