Khalil al-Hayya (head of Hamas in Gaza; chief negotiator) — speech on Hamas's founding anniversary, 14 Dec 2025 (PNN, Arabic original): rejecting disarmament — the resistance and its weapons are "a legitimate right guaranteed by international law for all peoples under occupation, linked to the establishment of the Palestinian state"; Hamas rejects "all manifestations of guardianship and mandate over the Palestinians."

— حق مشروع كفلته القوانين الدولية لكل الشعوب تحت الاحتلال ومرتبط بإقامة الدولة الفلسطينية
— لدراسة أية مقترحات تحافظ على هذا الحق مع ضمان إقامة الدولة الفلسطينية المستقلة وتقرير المصير لشعبنا الفلسطيني
— الرافض لكل مظاهر الوصاية والانتداب على الفلسطينيين

[Arabic-original REDO of a doc whose earlier English-translation-from-a-partisan-site version was rejected in review; this version uses the Arabic original as reported by the Palestinian News Network (PNN, mainstream). The stored passages are the verbatim quoted fragments PNN attributed to al-Hayya, each confirmed against the fetched page.] English of the fragments: — "[the resistance and its weapons are] a legitimate right guaranteed by international law for all peoples under occupation, and linked to the establishment of the Palestinian state"; — "[Hamas is open] to studying any proposals that preserve this right while guaranteeing the establishment of the independent Palestinian state and self-determination for our Palestinian people"; — "[the movement's position] rejecting all manifestations of guardianship and mandate over the Palestinians." CONTEXT: Declared positions of Khalil al-Hayya — head of Hamas's political bureau / its leader in Gaza and chief ceasefire negotiator — from his speech on the anniversary of Hamas's founding, 14 December 2025, responding to proposals to disarm the movement after the October 2025 Gaza ceasefire. He frames the resistance's arms as a legitimate, internationally sanctioned right of a people under occupation, tied to (not surrendered before) Palestinian statehood, while signalling conditional openness to arrangements that preserve that right; and he rejects any international "guardianship" over Gaza, limiting any international force to ceasefire monitoring at the borders without internal interference. This is the explicit DISARMAMENT-REFUSAL — the direct CONTESTED-CELL counterpoint to Palestinian Authority PM Mohammad Mustafa's "one state, one government, one law and one gun" disarmament vision documented elsewhere in the dataset. [Axes: regime-stance (resistance arms vs state monopoly on arms), palestinian-question (armed resistance linked to statehood; anti-tutelage), regional-stance. Pairs as a contested cell with the PA's disarmament position.]
