Netanyahu NOT HOPING for PEACE /Lt Col Daniel Davis

Trump posted on Truth Social that peace talks involving Hamas, Arab, and Muslim nations were progressing rapidly, with hostages soon to be released and “long-sought peace in the Middle East” approaching. Netanyahu publicly embraced Trump’s plan, describing it as having two phases: first, the release of hostages and a limited Israeli withdrawal from Gaza; second, the disarmament and demilitarization of Hamas. He emphasized that if Hamas refuses, Israel would have full U.S. support—under Trump—to continue its military campaign to total victory.

The speaker argues Netanyahu doesn’t actually want peace but rather hopes Hamas rejects the deal, giving him justification to continue the war and pursue the expulsion of Palestinians. The only real leverage Hamas has, he says, is to fully accept the deal—disarm, withdraw, and release all hostages—thereby exposing Israel’s unwillingness to end the conflict.

Netanyahu also attacked European nations for recognizing Palestinian statehood, accusing them of rewarding terrorism. But the commentary counters that Europe’s motivation is not support for Hamas but a reaction against Israel’s destruction of Gaza and its refusal to offer Palestinians any hope of a normal life.

The conclusion: Israel’s current approach—military conquest over political compromise—undermines its own long-term security. Real peace will only come through a difficult, balanced process that recognizes both Israeli and Palestinian rights, not through continued warfare.
