Celebrations erupt in Gaza as Hamas marks what it perceives as a victory following the recent ceasefire deal with Israel. While the terrorist organization revels in this supposed triumph, it’s clear that their jubilation highlights a glaring failure in negotiations—one that might not bode well for Israel or the United States.
Donald Trump, the incoming president, has taken a rather contrasting stance. He has praised the ceasefire as a significant achievement, which, according to him, is a direct result of his administration’s vision for peace proclaimed during the November elections. His comments suggest that the ceasefire indicates a shift in the global landscape favoring diplomacy and safety for American allies. Interestingly, even the Biden administration seems to begrudgingly acknowledge Trump’s influence, a departure from their usual dismissal of his achievements.
Hamas Celebrates Ceasefire Deal in Gaza And with good reason ..https://t.co/ubREeUFF2z

This sudden admiration for Trump from Biden’s camp should raise eyebrows. It smells a lot like damage control—anticipating the future fallout of this weak deal for Israel, they’re more than happy to credit Trump when it suits their narrative. Even Biden appeared to scoff at the thought of giving Trump any meaningful recognition, opting instead for his signature nonchalance, which ultimately underscores the administration’s grasping at straws.
The ramifications of this ceasefire are enough to send shivers down the spine of anyone interested in Israel’s security. Reports indicate that the deal allows Hamas to regain lost ground in northern Gaza, creating an environment ripe for further attacks. This move not only emboldens Hamas but also sets a dangerous precedent. Calls from the Zionist Organization of America reveal that the deal comes at the cost of releasing terrorists back into society—terrorists whose history includes the murder of Jews—leaving little doubt that this may lead to more bloodshed.
Protection of the Gaza border is compromised by the terms of this ceasefire. One would think that humanitarian aid would come without strings attached, but according to critics, Hamas will likely hijack these shipments for profit, further funding their terrorist activities. The irony of allowing Qatari and Egyptian teams to oversee the inspection of these supplies doesn’t escape an astute observer. It’s like asking a fox to guard the henhouse—an invitation for disaster more than an assurance of peace.
Hamas’ ultimate goal remains unchanged: the destruction of Israel. They have made it perfectly clear in their charter. This deal does nothing to halt their ambitions, nor does it require them to renounce their plans. Rather, it simply postpones the inevitable while empowering the very group that thrives on chaos and violence. As this drama unfolds, it becomes painfully evident that this ceasefire is not the end of the story; it’s merely a prelude to future conflicts.
