Hamas, once defiant, is now edging toward accepting President Trump’s proposal that fully embraces Israel’s red lines — a move insiders describe as nothing less than a declaration of defeat.
Terror Group Bends Under Pressure
CBS has reported that Hamas is seriously considering accepting U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to end the Gaza war. A formal response could be delivered to Egyptian and Qatari mediators within hours, underscoring how international and Israeli pressure has left the terror organization with dwindling options.
While Hamas leaders initially railed against the plan — branding it “biased toward Israel” and packed with “impossible conditions” — the facts on the ground are undeniable: Hamas has been battered militarily, diplomatically isolated, and is now facing the reality that Trump’s plan adopts all of Israel’s terms.
Hamas Resistance Crumbling
- Public fury inside Hamas: Senior figures admitted the plan feels like a “declaration of defeat.”
- Unacceptable demands: Disarmament and permanent restrictions were rejected as “impossible.”
- Qatari panic: Hamas begged Qatar for guarantees against renewed IDF operations and targeted eliminations of its leaders abroad.
- Turkey enters the picture: Doha announced Ankara will join mediation, a move seen as an attempt to save face for Hamas.
Why This Matters
For the first time, Hamas is openly discussing concessions on Israel’s terms. The terror group is being forced into negotiations not out of strength, but out of weakness. Israel, backed fully by Washington, has turned Hamas’s war of aggression into its political collapse.
What Hamas once vowed it would “never give up” — its arms, its terror infrastructure, its dominance in Gaza — is now on the negotiating table. For Israel, this is proof that relentless pressure works.
