What prompted the end of the war was that every single layer of support that Hamas had evaporated. It went away. Their PR support went away the minute that President Trump swiveled on Hamas and forced Qatar and Turkey to do the same.
The Israeli government's actions in Gaza are seen as a way to continue military operations under the guise of a peace deal, with Netanyahu using Hamas as an excuse to maintain control.
The other significant aspect that has been agreed to is that Israeli forces are going to withdraw from parts of the Gaza Strip. Now, it's important to say they are still going to be occupying. And that's another very significant point in this deal.
The disengagement from Gaza led to a deterioration of intelligence capabilities, as physical presence and recruitment opportunities were lost.
Hamas and other factions are required to have no role in Gaza's governance and must demilitarize under international supervision.
Hamas cannot remain in charge of the Gaza Strip. It needs to be disarmed, and a provisional authority should take place to make it safe.
Hamas must be expelled from any leadership position to prevent future conflicts. It's a red line for Israel, and we must help enforce it to avoid civilian suffering again.
The Israeli cabinet has approved an agreement to stop the war in Gaza. This agreement includes Israel pulling back to a predefined border and the release of 20 live hostages and 28 dead hostages within 72 hours of a ceasefire. Hamas claims this is the end of the war, but the United States says it could be if Hamas disarms and hands over governance.
Hamas and other factions must agree not to participate in Gaza's governance and to demilitarize, with weapons placed beyond use through an internationally funded buyback program.
Hamas accepted the first phase of the Gaza peace plan brokered by the Trump team, and Israel's government was doing the same. If successful, the IDF will pull back to a designated perimeter, and Hamas will release the remaining hostages.
