Would Hamas be prepared to disarm?

Does Hamas want peace? It's a kind of contradcition because as a designated terrorist group their very ideology and reason for existence is to be violent towards Israel, to want Israel exterminated and to help make jihad lkourish in the Middle East. Why would such an organisation even contemplate a "peaceful" settlement with Israel, especially if it meant their total disarmament and exile from Gaza? The only answer to these questions is that they don't want peace and they don't want to do a deal that means reaching some sort of long-term arrangement with the country they want blown off the planet. However, about three-quarters of their fighters have been killed or captured by the Israel Defence Forces, they have the Arab world screaming at them to make peace and they are faced by an American president who has basically said, sign on the dotted line or be prepared to face oblivion. So, maybe, just maybe, Hamas is now under enough pressure to make concessions, one of which would be to disarm. There are reports today that Hamas might be prepared to give up some of its weapons, but not all. Obviously, this will not go down well with either the Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu or with Donald Trump. But it's the first sign that Hamas might now be so desperate, and so fed up with struggling to survive against the Israeli onslaught, that for the first time they are envisaging surrender, or at least partial surrender. It seems possible, according to the reports. But I can't get away from the fact that two years ago, Hamas bulldozed and paraglided their way into Israel and slaughtered 1,200 people, including raping and murdering dozens of women. I seriously doubt these are the type of people who would agree to suffer the humiliation of queuing up to hand over their weapons and go quietly into exile. I just don't see it.
