President Trump’s tireless work in trying to bring the war between Israel and Hamas to a an acceptable end looks to be paying off.
But the promise of his 20-point peace agreement touted at the White House alongside Benjamin Netanyahu came with teeth.
The President’s plan does not include a scenario where Hamas would be allowed to potentially rebuild and remain to fight still another day.
He iterated in no uncertain terms that if Hamas didn’t readily accept the deal on the table — and carry through with the obligations entailed within it — there would be consequences.
For a deeper dive into the full details of the plan, check out this report put out by Noah just a short time ago:
In short, President Trump promised Netanyahu his support in eradicating Hamas militarily — if the Islamic terror organization refused to accept or failed to ultimately make good on the plan.
Here’s a clip shared by the Daily Wire of the President revealing the TEETH he packed into this proposed peace deal:

Here’s a full screen version of the President’s comments along with a little more context.
He promised that Israel would not only have the “right” to finish destroying Hamas militarily if the group passes on this deal.
But the Israelis would have his “full backing” to finish the job:

For his part during the White House press conference, Netanyahu assured President Trump that Israel could handle Hamas “by itself” if it came to that.
Clearly Netanyahu understands the large portion of President Trump’s base of support that would bristle at the possibility of widening American military involvement in the conflict.
Still, merely giving Israel his backing to deal with Hamas under the approval of the United States should be teeth enough to inspire approval by Hamas of the President’s plan.
But Israel, also, has been somewhat boxed in by the President’s diplomatic negotiations.
President Trump’s Envoy has reportedly outlawed any further Israeli strikes on Qatari territory as part of the deal, according to this report from Fox News:
“Israel would have my full backing to finish the job of destroying the threat of Hamas,” Trump said on Monday during a press conference, warning Hamas to accept the deal. “But I hope that we’re going to have a deal for peace. And, if Hamas rejects the deal, which is always possible — they’re the only one left. Everyone else has accepted it. But, I have a feeling that we’re going to have a positive answer. But if not, as you know, maybe you’d have our full backing to do what you would have to do.”
Netanyahu added during a joint press conference with Trump on Monday that Israel will “will finish the job by itself” if Hamas does not agree to the plan and continues tthreatening the region.
Trump unveiled the 21-point initiative to end the Gaza war during meetings with Arab leaders on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly earlier in September.
A White House official, speaking on background, previously told Fox News Digital, “The President underscored his desire to bring fighting in Gaza to an expeditious close. Special Envoy Witkoff summarized the U.S. plan for Gaza, including the return of all hostages living and deceased, no further attacks on Qatar, a new dialogue between Israel and Palestinians for peaceful coexistence and more.
“Foreign partners expressed broad agreement that President Trump was the only one who could end the fighting in Gaza and expressed the hope that they could work together with Special Envoy Witkoff to consider the President’s plan as Americans continue to engage with Israeli officials,” the White House official added.
A week ago, Hamas seemingly read the room and realized they were about to lose any perceived negotiating leverage as far as it depended on President Trump.
That’s when his Sec. of State, Marco Rubio, answered a question during an appearance on Fox News about an alleged letter the group sent to the President.
The letter supposedly asked President Trump to implement a ceasefire in exchange for less-than-all of the hostages released.
Marco Rubio’s subsequent fiery answer was all the handwriting on the wall necessary to know that Hamas was effectively being sidelined as a negotiating partner.
Here’s that clip of Rubio declaring the President’s no-nonsense stance at that point in the game:
BREAKING: Secretary Rubio rejects Hamas’s ‘letter’ to Trump.
“The President has been clear: We haven’t seen the letter. We don’t have that letter. Even if we did, it wouldn’t matter. The President is not interested in 60 days, 10 people. He wants all the hostages out. All 48.” pic.twitter.com/ImulwwTZYN

The current plan on the table, which Netanyahu publicly endorsed during his White House visit today, includes a multi-national peace keeping force in order to transition from Israeli military control.
It also includes not only the complete disarming of Hamas, but the end of the group’s political aims inside the Gaza strip, according to The Hill:
Trump on Monday released his 20-point plan for Gaza, which Netanyahu said he supported during a press conference following their Oval Office meeting.
“We’d prefer the easy way but it has to be done. All these goals must be achieved because we didn’t fight this horrible fight, sacrifice the finest of our young men to have Hamas stay in Gaza and threaten us again and again and again with these horrific massacres,” Netanyahu said.
Trump’s 20-point peace plan outlined that if Hamas refuses to accept the proposal, the plan can go ahead with Israel establishing “terror-free” areas to be handed over from the Israeli military to a temporary “International Stabilization Force” made up of Arab and international partners.
If the militant group accepts it, the plan called for Hamas to lay down its arms and renounce governance in the Strip. Additionally, the plan said Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence would be given amnesty to remain in Gaza or they would be granted safe passage to receiving countries.
As the President repeatedly affirmed, the primary issue now is whether or not Hamas will accept the deal.
Within moments of the President’s remarks, the Palestinian leadership in Israel signaled their support for the plan and stated their intention of aligning with the changes put forth by President Trump:

At about the same time, Israel’s near neighbors put additional pressure on Hamas to accept the President’s deal.
The foreign ministers of multiple Arab and Islamic nations issued a statement to that effect, but with a slight catch — as reported on by the Associated Press:
In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar said they have confidence in Trump’s “ability to find a path to peace.”
But the countries do not say they agree to its plan as fully presented.
In language that is much more definitive than Trump’s proposal, the countries said they’re committed to a comprehensive deal that among other goals creates peace “on the basis of the two state solution, under which Gaza is fully integrated with the West Bank in a Palestinian state.”
The Palestinian government issued a statement pledging to implement reforms called for in the proposal.
“The State of Palestine welcomes the sincere and determined efforts of President Donald J. Trump to end the war on Gaza and affirms its confidence in his ability to find a path toward peace,” the statement said.
As is usually the case regarding Mideastern diplomacy…
Making an agreement and seeing it stick can be two very different things.
At the moment, it appears as President Trump referenced today that every interested party has essentially agreed to the deal he’s put forward; except Hamas.
Until they do, that will be the $64,000 dollar question.
And then, the real work will begin — getting all parties to make good on their piece of the puzzle.
One of the first big steps in the agreement would be the return of all the hostages held by Hamas — both the living and the dead.
That’s a big step, and the primary reason President Trump has consistently stated he is willing to do whatever necessary to bring this thing to an end.
But it remains to be seen if Hamas will be willing to give up what it sees as it’s only leverage…
Or if it will become the thing that hangs this deal in the making, and prompts a far different path to bringing about “peace”.
