Hamas IS STILL the issue and NOBODY has a solution that will work…..
Trump threatening them included ….
As the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip stretches on, more and more reports have emerged of growing strains between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Axios last week indicated that Trump’s top aides believe Netanyahu is sabotaging the ceasefire process. According to the report, Trump’s team is convinced that Netanyahu is delaying progress toward the second phase of the president’s Gaza plan, and could ultimately resume the war against Hamas. Trump, meanwhile, wants to unveil the new technocratic government for Gaza, backed by the international peacekeeping force, and to convene the Board of Peace.
There were disagreements over Syria reported as well. According to the Kan public broadcaster, Netanyahu asked Trump to retain some American sanctions on Syria as the president prepared to repeal them last week, in the hope that they could be used as a bargaining chip in future negotiations, but the request was refused.
At the heart of the ostensible strains is a fundamental disagreement over how to achieve some measure of long-term peace in Gaza and to pave the way for the realization of Trump’s vision for the Middle East. Trump wants to push ahead toward the day after Hamas without getting hung up on the thorny details like disarmament, otherwise Gaza will remain a conflict zone and the Saudis won’t agree to normalize ties with Israel.
Netanyahu, on the other hand, feels that no ceasefire with a terrorist group like Hamas or Hezbollah can stand — and that they certainly won’t actually disarm — unless there is a credible threat of a major Israeli attack….
…
As for the reported disagreements over Hamas disarmament, Trump sought to dispel them as well. Hamas “will be given a very short period of time to disarm,” he underscored, or “there will be hell to pay for them.”
The two reportedly agreed that Hamas would be given a two-month deadline for disarming, and set down criteria for what disarming entails.
Trump also volunteered that he is “not concerned about anything Israel is doing” around his peace plan for Gaza, a statement that doubtless surprised many observers. “I’m concerned about what other people are doing or maybe aren’t doing.” Israel has “lived up to the plan,” he said. “They’re strong, they’re solid.”…
…
More practically, while Trump and Netanyahu are on the same page about their vision for Gaza, there is certainly no guarantee that Hamas will go along with it. Trump’s earlier threats that it would face “complete annihilation” if it clings to power in Gaza haven’t deterred the group from tightening its grip over the part of the Strip it controls.
Hamas knows that the US isn’t going to send troops to Gaza. It understands that no international force has any intention of risking combat against Hamas in order to disarm it, regardless of Trump’s claims that 59 countries “want to go in and wipe out Hamas.”….
