• The original goal of Trump's peace plan was not to relocate Hamas's arsenal. It was to eliminate it permanently.
• Weapons stored in warehouses remain weapons that function. Explosives stored today can be easily recovered tomorrow. Rocket factories that are preserved can resume production. Tunnels that are mapped rather than destroyed can be used again.
• The issue has never been where Hamas keeps its weapons. The issue has always been Hamas having access them.
• Transferring weapons from one Palestinian group to another is not demilitarization.
• Even more disturbing is the new deal's assertion that "no weapons shall be transferred or handed to Israel or non-Palestinian parties."
• Equally disturbing is the new roadmap's conditioning of disarmament on an Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip....
• Why should a terrorist organization that carried out the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel be allowed to dictate the conditions of its own disarmament? No country fighting ISIS or al-Qaeda would first withdraw its forces and only then hope terrorists voluntarily surrender their weapons. Hamas should not be negotiating the terms of its defeat. It should be compelled to unconditionally surrender and disarm.
• This is the same Ghazi Hamad [senior Hamas official] who publicly vowed that Hamas would repeat the October 7 massacre time and again until Israel is eliminated: "The Al-Aqsa Flood [the name Hamas uses to describe the October 7 massacre] is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth, because we have the determination, the resolve, and the capabilities to fight."
• Anyone who thinks that the newly established NCAG will somehow confront Hamas and impose its authority over the terrorist organization is living under an illusion.
• The far more likely scenario is that Hamas will continue to call the shots from behind the scenes while allowing another Palestinian body to assume responsibility for governance, civil service salaries, reconstruction, and collecting international aid.
• This would essentially replicate the Hezbollah model in Lebanon, where a heavily-armed Iran-backed terrorist militia coexists with a formal government while retaining independent military power and ultimate political influence.
• Within hours of the announcement of the roadmap, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps dismissed the plan outright, declaring... that "the resistance" (Hamas) would remain steadfast until what it called the "final victory" over Israel.
• Iran understands Hamas better than anyone else because it has financed, armed and trained the terrorist organization for decades. If the Iranian regime is openly rejecting the prospect of Hamas's disarmament, why should anyone else believe that Hamas intends to honor the agreement?

This whole agreement is one giant, sad joke and will only cause further bloodshed down the road.
No. 1 - HAMAS will NEVER disarm. They may pretend to disarm while storing their weapons are placed in a “Palestinian Safe facility”. Can I vomit now?
No. 2 - Qatar, Turkey and other ISLAMIC BROTHERHOOD nations and bodies are monitoring the situation on the ground, that is assisting HAMAS to PRETEND they disarm and get aid.
No. 3 - They ask Israel to leave Gaza completely BEFORE the so-called “disarmament”. This leaves Israel back at square one where we were on October 6th 2023.
No. 4- Anybody who thinks the Muslim Arabs and their cronies will work hard for peace just make me vomit.
No. 5 - Why hasn’t the West figured out the Arab mind after 200 (1600) years? The best academics and diplomats are clueless and naive - and the PALEOstinians know it.
No. 5 - The so-called “guardians” of this agreement want Israel destroyed so where is their room for compromise? This word, “compromise” does not exist in the Arab-Iranian-Muslim mindset.
No. 6 - The only thing that can come of this plan is more war.
Trump’s plan? Reads more like it comes from the UN.
It seriously appears that DJT is wholly ignorant of and unequipped wisdom wise to deal with the religion of Satan...
DJT is another in the long line of US President’s to throw Israel under the bus.
President Trump and his administration should stop, halt and do nothing in this area. Leave it alone. Let it go. A very dangerous time for us all.
I wish someone could tell our elected leaders this directly.
They should have learned there are consequences in the spirit world to taking actions in this arena:
The Trump Administration on January 28th, 2020 published maps on the official White House .gov website showing a divided Jerusalem (Judea and Samaria). Evil Anthony Fauci arrived for the first time arriving at the White House Situation Room that very same day for CV19. I would not be surprised if it was the same hour the PDF was uploaded.
How much sickness and pain has since arrived on all of our doorsteps from that day forward.
From the text of the Gaza Peace plan:
#19 - While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people
“the United States” will establish the dialogue, it states in #20.
The ‘king will perish from Gaza’ they have no king.
“Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.” - Zechariah 9:5
“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” - Zechariah 12:3
There is only one thing that Islam understands and that’s Power, they need to be wiped out with Iran, completely.
We have an unbroken run of US Presidents who willingly get attached to the Middle East tar baby. These are otherwise intelligent people. I am guessing they get suckered by the CIA.
Setting that up BEFORE Hamas is vaporized was dumb.
It’d be like setting up the Marshall Plan in 44.
“A Dangerous Deal”
Dangerous to who?
