1. What is Hamas to you, Activist group or Terrorist group?
terrorist group. they couldnt even run the municipal public services and instead required UNRWA to run hospitals schools and civil services. also other leaders hiding in qatar run the politics/diplomacy of delegating tasks. so hamas in gaza were just terrorists pretending to be a government
2. Will Has accept to tender their arms and be disarmed?
they said not before elections. they will hand over weapons to the next presiding palestinian government. whereby elections can take as long as christmas 2026(15 month plan publicised)
3. Did Gaza support Hamas or Israel in taking over the leadership?
gaza voted them in as an alternative to the fatah PA party, that governs westbank. israel did not fund them but on occassions unrestricted the sanctions to allow funding that was laundered through qatar to get to gaza. funding that came from sponsors like tehran and other palestinian supporting arab league nations
4. Is President Trump approach to settle the war the lasting solution?
even if brand name "hamas" was dissolved. extremists have many other brands to form under, like the PIJ and others. even hamas founder Sinwar was actually part of a syrian faction of extremists that wanted activities to happen in palestinian regions, same with some houthi and even jordanian factions. so hamas brand may disappear but a new brand will popup. even hamas shown their hand too early by rebranding to a "movement", which shows they ar enot willing to step down from their military/terror actions but are just sidestepping labels and branding issues
5. What could be your overall input as offer to this solution needed?
hamas is under the belief that:
they can still get an immunity deal even if it takes months to bring back the hostages.
they can still get an immunity deal even if they never disarm
they can still be part of a new "movement" by just saying hamas is gone. and then take their guns into the new movement and carry on
they can keep a ceasefire going for months(keep IDF in defense objective but not let IDF go back to offense objective)
they can help the arab league in a new government before hamas do any of the 20point deal hamas suppose to do
hamas still think they have the upper hand/control over negotiations
the terms of the 20point deal need to be more detailed of deadlines. such as only having X days before immunity deal goes away.
unless they:
release hostages
disarm
agree to let a PA political group take over the governance of gaza
get hamas negotiating by the hour not by the week-month
offering the immunity deal needs some formal conditions/deadlines to get hamas talking faster
hamas already made an announcement of conditional acceptance on thursday 2nd oct which meant hostages should have been starting to be release by sunday(72 hours).. they are already extending the first deadline, which western negotiators needs to stop giving them so many chances to escape holding upto to deal conditions
the hostage part of negotiations should have been done between 2nd -5th with first releases happening last night
but now we have negotiations starting this week and "possible " suggestions of some releases later this week, but no defined deadline.
hamas have already suggested it would take
months to locate all of the hostages (facepalm - stall tactics)
