Colonel Kemp stated that Hamas is responsible for all ceasefire violations in Gaza, including ongoing low-level attacks against Israeli forces. He emphasized that Hamas is actively working to strengthen its influence in the territories it controls. Kemp argued that the group must be confronted directly, expressing skepticism about international plans for disarmament and neutralization. He concluded that Israel is likely the only party capable of physically disarming Hamas, as the group is unlikely to relinquish its weapons voluntarily.
