The Arab and Muslim countries, including Pakistan, will not disarm Hamas.
Pakistan -- which does not recognize Israel and does not regard Hamas as a terrorist organization –- was the first country to recognize Iran's Khomeini regime in 1979, just as, in 1947, Iran was the first country to recognize Pakistan's independence. Since then, not only has Pakistan had far closer relations with Iran than with Israel, but, after the Gaza War in 2023, has repeatedly called for Muslim nations to "unite against Israel."
Meanwhile, it is simply not realistic to assume that the Palestinian terror groups will voluntarily hand over their weapons.
These Arab and Muslim heads of state will only take action against Islamist terrorists when they pose a threat to their regimes, security and stability.
