Hamas said Palestinian resistance will not stop until "the occupation" ends and an independent, fully sovereign state with Jerusalem as its capital is established, in response to "the New York" declaration calling for the group to lay down the arms.
A declaration issued on Tuesday by Saudi Arabia and France, backed by Egypt, Qatar and the Arab League, called for Hamas to disarm and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority, which they say should rule across all Palestinian territories.
Saudi Arabia and France are seeking further global support for the declaration outlining steps towards implementing a two-state solution.
The Israel-Hamas war
The meeting saw Arab officials condemn Hamas's October 7 invasion which kickstarted the war with Israel and has devastated much of Gaza.
Over 1200 people were murdered during Hamas's invasion and 250 abducted, 50 of whom remain in Hamas captivity.
Hamas-run health officials in Gaza have claimed the war has taken the lives of more than 60,000 Palestinians - though the official statistics do not distinguish between civilian and combatant.
This is a developing story.
