Yesterday’s announcement outlines bold steps toward ending Gaza conflict. Core elements demand Hamas release every hostage within 72 hours once Israel begins withdrawal. In return, group must disarm fully and relinquish governance role in Gaza. Proposal effectively calls for surrender.

President Trump described plan during press conference as having little flexibility for Hamas. He acknowledged risks, noting deal could collapse. Still, he expressed hope for resolution.

Pressure mounts on Hamas from unexpected quarters. Israel’s key partners rally behind initiative. Even longstanding Hamas supporters urge acceptance, signaling broad international push.

Trump framed offer as ultimatum. Rejection would trigger full U.S. support for Israel to “finish the job,” per his words. Response window: three to four days.

Analyst Patrick Revel, speaking with host Selena on air, highlighted stakes. “Huge question: Will Hamas accept? We find out soon if war nears end,” Revel said.
