How Hamas Lost The Battle; Refuses Accept Facts Of War

Nadene Goldfoot                                       


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.           

             October 7, 2023 attack on Israel

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.

    Find United Arab Emirates on the lower right,  and above that is Dubai on the piece of pointed land near the Strait. The map-makers jumped the gun here on the map, placing Palestine on it which isn't happening;  especially after their behavior on 7th of October, 2023.

    Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates and the capital of the Emirate of Dubai It is on a creek on the southeastern coast of the Persian Gulf. As of 2025, its population stands at 4 million, 92% of whom are expatriates

     In Dubai, . Native Emirati citizens make up only about 8% of the city's total population, creating one of the highest ratios of foreign residents in the world. 

     Dubai's economy centres on trade, tourism, aviation, financial services, and real estate. The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is one of the world's major financial centres. In 2024, Dubai was the seventh most-visited city globally.

    Dubai International Airport (DXB) is the world's busiest airport for international passenger traffic, handling over 92 million passengers in 2024.


    • The United Arab Emirates says its air defences “detected two ballistic missiles launched from Iran toward the country”, adding that the projectiles targeted “maritime navigation and fell into the sea”.
      Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of Iran August 10, 2026

    • Iran’s Foreign Ministry dismisses the accusation as “baseless”.   
    • “Accusing the Islamic Republic of Iran contradicts the principle of good neighborliness and hinders efforts to build trust among the countries of the region,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on its official Telegram channel.
           At Ben Gurion Airport with stranded passengers
    The United Arab Emirates (including Dubai) has suspended all trade with Iran following recent ballistic missile intercepts, while Israel faces major flight and baggage disruptions at Ben Gurion Airport that have left numerous travelers stranded, including connections through Dubai.

    Dubai International Airport (Arabic: مطار دبي الدولي; IATA: DXB, ICAO: OMDB) is the primary international airport serving Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and is the world's busiest airport by international passenger traffic as of 2025. It is also the busiest airport in the Middle East as of 2025, the second-busiest airport in the world by passenger traffic as of 2025, the busiest airport for Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 movements, and the airport with the highest average number of passengers per fli In 2025, the airport handled over 95.2 million passengers, over 2.2 million tonnes of cargo and registered over 454,000 aircraft movements.

    Statewide and Regional Arab Population: Broad U.S. Census estimates indicate that upwards of 31,000 Arab Americans live across Oregon, with roughly 10,000 residing in Multnomah County alone. A few are from Dubai.  National Origins: The majority of the Arab and Middle Eastern population in the Portland metro area traces its roots to countries like Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine, rather than the UAE, who belong to the Abrahamic Accords.  Lebanon and Syria are taken over by Hezbollah terrorists who are in their government.  Expat Community Visibility: While the wider Portland metro area (including suburbs like Beaverton) is home to diverse international communities, an organized or distinct community specifically from Dubai is statically untracked  and minimal. 

    Portland, Oregon is home to a growing Arab American population of roughly 32,000 statewide, with nearly 10,000 residents in Multnomah County.
