Hamas leaders are scrambling to respond to President Donald Trump’s sweeping Gaza peace proposal, which Israel has already accepted. A source close to the terror group admitted discussions could take “several days,” citing fractured communication lines and fear of exposure.
Meanwhile, Israel is signaling resolve. The Trump plan promises the release of all remaining hostages within 72 hours if Hamas agrees, while Arab and Muslim nations commit to dismantling Hamas’s military infrastructure. Israel would retain security oversight during phased withdrawals.
For Israel, the choice is clear: unity with allies and the safe return of citizens. For Hamas, delay only proves what Israelis already know—its leaders are more invested in preserving power than in peace or their people.
