Hamas won’t give up arms or Gaza control — despite agreeing to Trump deal, spokesman says
New York Post ^ | Oct. 14, 2025 | Ronny Reyes

Hamas appeared to renege on key demands of President Trump’s cease-fire deal just hours after the world celebrated the end of the Gaza war — with a top official saying the terror group will not give up its arms or control over the Gaza Strip.

Spokesman Hazem Qassem claimed Monday that Hamas has no need to abide by every word of Trump’s 20-point peace plan, including calls for the terror group to lay down its arms.

“We do not need to limit ourselves to the Israeli terms and definitions related to weapons,” Qassem told the Al-Arabiya news channel.

“We will not be captives to Israeli terms or demands,” he added. “This is one of the focal points of the struggle in the next stage, after the cessation of aggression in the Gaza Strip.”

Qassem echoed Hamas’ long-standing position that it will neither give up its weapons nor cede governance over the Gaza Strip until a path is laid out for Palestinian statehood.

Trump’s plan, which saw all 20 living hostages freed on Monday, provides for how Gaza should be governed after Hamas cedes control.

However, the details of how and when that will happen have not yet been agreed upon.

Well, that didn’t take long.

Typical Arab idea of how contracts works, too.

A contract is, to them, just a negotiating position. It is never binding.

Indians are like this, too.

Hamas governance after the ceasefire:
Just saw a video on 4chan of these butchers lining up a half dozen men they didn’t like, putting them on their knees and shooting them in the backs of their heads.

Is it in the contract that Israel has the option to resume warfare with Hamas when they clearly violate the contract?
This may become a necessary step to take.

No disrespect meant to Trump. But…

This is another “Peace in our time” thing. It will last only as long as the fascists want it to last.

1938: The fascists were the Nazis.
Today: It’s Hamas, of course.

I’m not a bit surprised. I’m also sure Netanyahu knows just what to do.

After the dust settles in Gaza, Hamas leadership will re-surface (as they must) and be exterminated one by one like the rats that they are!

Break the agreement....then the Israeli’s go back in and finish them. Trump has to stand behind the agreement being followed. The Arab nations must do the same. Arab police force must be reasonably safe to patrol the area, or it’s pointless.
