Egypt just came up with an announcement that is easy to see that they are siding with Hamas terrorists against Trump's peace plan of disarmament.
The president of Egypt today is Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who has held office since June 2014. Ideological Friction: El-Sisi views Hamas through the lens of domestic security, given its historical roots as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood—an Islamist movement banned and suppressed by el-Sisi's administration. Pragmatic Accommodation: Despite initial hostility, Egypt pragmatically engages Hamas out of necessity, requiring its cooperation for border stability and functioning as the primary interlocutor between Hamas, Israel, and international partners.
Senior Egyptian officials reportedly told senior U.S. officials that the only way to bring about Hamas’ disarmament would be under Israel’s next government.
The large-scale war and major attacks launched by Hamas against Israel began in 2023 (on October 7). However, Hamas has carried out intermittent attacks, rocket fire, and suicide bombings against Israel since the group's founding in 1987.
The war has gone on for 39 years!!! Israel backs up Trump's words: President Donald Trump's Board of Peace roadmap for Gaza specifies that the territory will be governed under the principle of "One Authority, One Law, One Weapon."
Heavy Armaments & Infrastructure: The roadmap mandates a structured process to "decommission and store heavy weapons, military production sites, depots of weapons, and tunnels".
Surrender, in military terms, is the relinquishment of control over territory, combatants, fortifications, ships or armament to another power.
This is because Trump's expectation is of a 100% giving up of the arms of Hamas terrorists.
1. Germany in World War II: Surrendered unconditionally, and the Allies disarmed its military completely.
2. Japan in World War II: Handed over weapons and accepted Allied military occupation and disarmament...
3. Confederate States of America in the American Civil War: Surrendered armies stacked arms and turned over equipment to Union forces.
They said they had no expectation of meaningful progress under Israel’s current government and warned that Hamas would only grow stronger. (I don't believe Israel will ever allow that to happen. This is just a fear tactic, )
Following Jared Kushner’s meeting in Egypt with senior Hamas officials, sources told Saudi-owned Al Arabiya that Kushner and Mladenov had rejected a Hamas proposal concerning the storage of its weapons.
According to the report, they insisted that Hamas surrender its weapons and dismantle its military infrastructure.
