Hamas emerges as ‘ultimate spoiler’ in Gaza plan as Trump insists terror group will disarm

Prof. Kobi Michael: Hamas “doesn’t intend to disarm itself and never intended to.Hamas will do all the possible and creative maneuvers and manipulations in order to keep its power and influence in the Gaza Strip.

The Israel Defense Forces are the only entity that can disarm Hamas. No one besides Turkey is willing to send its troops to the International Stabilization Force in order to fight Hamas,” referring to the planned force authorized by the United Nations to oversee security and demilitarization in Gaza.
