The fragile ceasefire in Gaza appears to be holding for now, even as Israeli officials accuse Hamas of violating the truce by attacking Israeli troops near Rafah. Washington is moving quickly to keep the pause in place because the immediate priority must be getting aid to civilians and the hostages home, not letting chaos rip the deal apart.
Despite these accusations, Israel responded with calibrated strikes, saying it was targeting militant infrastructure after troops were attacked, while Hamas denies initiating the clashes and insists it remains committed to the agreement. This back-and-forth underscores the raw reality: ceasefires are fragile when one side is a ruthless terror cartel that uses civilians and hostages as bargaining chips.
The spotlight on the deal has turned to those who dared to sit down with the enemy to get tangible results — Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff — whose candid 60 Minutes interview showed what real, high-stakes diplomacy looks like. They told a truth too many in the media won’t admit: peace requires talking to unpleasant people and forcing concessions, not endless moralizing from safe offices in New York.
Patriots should applaud the national security experts who are willing to explain the hard trade-offs, including commentators like Dr. Rebecca Grant, who joined Fox’s morning coverage to stress the importance of keeping pressure on Hamas while securing humanitarian access. America needs sober, experienced voices on these networks telling the public what’s at stake instead of the usual hand-wringing that absolves the terrorists.
There are real wins to show for tough diplomacy: the painstaking release of hostages and the temporary halt in large-scale fighting were brokered through intense, direct efforts — not the virtue-signaling that passes for policy in so many quarters. Those releases demonstrate that leverage and clarity of purpose work, and they should be the blueprint for the next steps rather than naïve proposals to simply roll over and hope terror goes away.
Make no mistake: Hamas remains a brutal, murderous organization that has been accused of executing and terrorizing its own people even while the truce is in place, exposing the lie that this group is a legitimate political actor. If mediators and the United States are serious about a lasting solution, they must insist on real disarmament, accountability for atrocity, and a governance alternative in Gaza that rejects terror.
This moment calls for clear-eyed resolve, not lecturing. The Trump administration’s envoys showed that bold, unconventional diplomacy can produce results, but that diplomacy must be backed by the credible threat of force and unrelenting pressure until Hamas is neutralized as a governing option. Americans who love freedom and the rule of law should demand our leaders keep that pressure on, protect Israeli security, and ensure the peace stays permanent — not pick apart the deal to score ideological points.
