64岁的流亡巴勒斯坦政治家穆罕默德·达赫兰在近期加沙武装解除谈判中扮演了重要角色。[1]现居阿联酋阿布扎比的达赫兰与当地统治者关系密切，据谈判内部人士透露，"在过去两天里，他确实发挥了重大作用"。[1]达赫兰向哈马斯提供了政治救生圈，主张这个武装团体应当转向政治斗争以保持在巴勒斯坦运动中的地位。[1]
在谈判过程中，哈马斯在第5条款中获得了最高4亿美元的债务承诺。[1]一名巴勒斯坦消息人士表示，"哈马斯已经意识到（军事手段）走不通，所以他们需要更聪慧地应对"。[1]与此同时，巴勒斯坦西岸定于11月28日举行选举，这是20多年来首次。[1]土耳其曾在2016年对达赫兰头上悬赏70万美元。[1]
Mohammed Dahlan, a 64-year-old exiled Palestinian political figure based in Abu Dhabi with close ties to UAE leadership, has emerged as a key driver behind Gaza disarmament negotiations, according to sources familiar with the talks.[1] An insider involved in the negotiations stated that "over the past two days, he actually did play a major role" in persuading Hamas to accept the disarmament terms.[1] Another source characterized Dahlan's overture to the militant group as offering "a political lifeline," positioning armed struggle as a spent strategy and advocating that Hamas pivot toward political engagement to secure its place in Palestine's future.[1]
The disarmament agreement includes a commitment of up to $400 million in debt relief for Hamas under Article 5 of the accord.[1] A Palestinian source explained the strategic calculation driving Hamas's position, noting that "Hamas has reached a point where they understand that this is not going anywhere [militarily]. So they need to be smart."[1] The agreement comes as preparations advance for Palestinian West Bank elections scheduled for November 28, marking the first electoral contest in over two decades, while Israeli elections are set for October 27.[1] Dahlan's diplomatic ascendancy is noteworthy given that Turkey placed a $700,000 bounty on his head in 2016.[1]
