Still, Hamas leaders say the group will not lay down its weapons.

Lay down your weapons and walk away with it all!

"They'd better lay down their weapons and surrender them or the nation itself will die."

"We will always provide the other side an opportunity to lay down their weapons," he said.

"She will be released the moment you lay down your weapons."

At the same time we have to appeal to our people to lay down their weapons and talk.

If you do not lay down your weapons and come with us.

"How can I lay down my weapons when they are all built in?"

Let them lay down their weapons and go in peace.

"How will we ever get them to lay down their weapons and live peacefully?"
