Israel’s accusation that Hamas has violated the fragile ceasefire is not a mere spat — it threatens to unravel the very framework President Trump pushed to end two years of bloodshed. Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst has been on the ground reporting the grim reality: negotiations are fragile, and every incident can blow up the progress painstakingly stitched together by mediators.
The core of the problem is simple and unforgiving: President Trump’s 20-point plan hinges on Hamas disarming and stepping aside, but Israeli leaders say the group has openly declared it will not disarm. That is not a negotiable difference of opinion — it is a strategic refusal that makes any “peace” fragile at best and deadly at worst.
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s warning that Israel will respond after a blast in the Rafah area underscores how quickly things can deteriorate when militants continue to operate under the cover of chaos. Israel’s security commanders are not being alarmist when they say Hamas’ behavior contradicts the disarmament demanded by the truce and the Trump plan. The United States cannot broker a settlement if one side refuses to surrender the means to kill.
Meanwhile, Hamas publicly tells mediators it is “ready to reach a deal” but attaches demands that would preserve its power and, in effect, the very weapons Trump’s outline seeks to eliminate. Those caveats — calls for full withdrawal, guarantees, or statehood conditions — are smoke screens designed to buy time and international sympathy while the terror network rebuilds. Americans should see through the diplomacy when it is used by terrorists to regain strength.
Conservatives should be clear-eyed and unapologetic: President Trump’s plan is the only realistic path to long-term Israeli security because it insists on disarmament before political normalization. The alternative — endless appeasement and temporary ceasefires that let Hamas regroup — is precisely why the region has suffered for decades, and why a president with backbone matters. Fox’s reporting from Tel Aviv has shown there is momentum for a deal, but momentum requires toughness, not moralizing from the coastal elites.
Diplomacy must be backed by ironclad verification and by the willingness to punish any spoilers who violate agreements on the ground. If mediators in Cairo and elsewhere allow Hamas to game the system, they will hand victory to terrorists and doom the next phase of reconstruction and hostage returns. The world can cluck about humanitarian concerns, but real compassion for civilians means neutralizing the gangs that use human shields and bury weapons under schools and hospitals.
Hardworking Americans deserve leaders who put security first and don’t flinch when their allies face existential threats. Support the administration that produces a concrete plan, insist that any ceasefire includes verifiable disarmament, and demand that Congress and the public back Israel until the smoking ruins of Gaza are no longer a launchpad for future terror. This is not the time for wishful thinking — it is the moment for resolute action and uncompromising resolve.
