Trump Demands Hamas Full Disarmament, Backs New Gaza Leadership
In a decisive move that underscores America's commitment to Israel's security, President Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum to Hamas: fully disarm or face the consequences. This bold stance represents a watershed moment in the fight against terrorism in the Middle East.
Comprehensive Disarmament Ultimatum
Trump's Truth Social declaration was unambiguous: "With the support of Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar, we will secure a COMPREHENSIVE demilitarization agreement with Hamas, including the surrender of ALL weapons, and the dismantling of EVERY tunnel."
The President's message to the terror organization was crystal clear: "Hamas must IMMEDIATELY honor its commitments, including the return of the final body to Israel, and proceed without delay to full demilitarization. As I have said before, they can do this the easy way, or the hard way."
This firm approach reflects the unwavering American commitment to Israel's right to exist in security, free from the constant threat of Hamas terrorism that has plagued the Jewish state for decades.
Strategic Alliance for Regional Stability
The United States has forged a crucial partnership with Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey to ensure Hamas compliance. According to senior US officials, these regional powers have assured Washington that Hamas will accept a gradual disarmament plan, beginning with heavy weaponry surrender and implementing a comprehensive "buy-back" program.
A senior US official emphasized that all terror infrastructure in Gaza will be destroyed, with "heavy weaponry, like RPGs, rocket launchers and missiles" to be neutralized. However, Israel rightfully insists that light weapons, including AK-47s used by Hamas to terrorize Gazan civilians, must also be included in any meaningful disarmament.
New Palestinian Leadership Initiative
Trump announced his backing of the newly appointed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), describing these Palestinian leaders as "unwaveringly committed to a peaceful future." This technocratic government represents a potential pathway away from Hamas's reign of terror.
The President declared: "As chairman of the Board of Peace, I am backing a newly appointed Palestinian Technocratic Government, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), supported by the Board's high representative, to govern Gaza during its transition."
International Board of Peace
The long-promised Board of Peace has been assembled, with commitments secured from Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Germany. This international coalition demonstrates the global recognition that Hamas's militarization must end for regional peace to flourish.
Trump's personal involvement in selecting board members underscores the administration's commitment to this historic initiative. The first meeting is planned for the World Economic Forum in Davos, signaling the international community's engagement in Gaza's peaceful transformation.
Humanitarian Progress Amid Security Concerns
Since the ceasefire, Trump's team has delivered record levels of humanitarian aid to Gaza at unprecedented speed and scale, even earning UN acknowledgment. However, Israel's necessary security restrictions on materials that could be weaponized by Hamas have created shelter challenges, highlighting the complex balance between humanitarian needs and security imperatives.
Israel's position remains clear: any materials entering Gaza must not enable Hamas to rebuild its terror capabilities. This principled stance protects both Israeli civilians and Gazans from future conflicts.
A Historic Opportunity
Trump's decisive action represents more than diplomatic pressure; it embodies the moral clarity needed to confront terrorism. For too long, Hamas has exploited Gazan suffering while building an arsenal aimed at Israel's destruction. This American leadership offers Gaza's people a genuine path toward peace and prosperity.
The choice before Hamas is stark: embrace disarmament and allow Gaza to flourish, or face the consequences of continued belligerence. With Israel's security non-negotiable and American resolve unwavering, the terror organization's days of holding Gaza hostage may finally be numbered.
This moment demands recognition of a fundamental truth: lasting peace requires the complete dismantling of Hamas's military infrastructure. Only then can the people of Gaza, and their Israeli neighbors, look forward to a future free from the shadow of terrorism.
