Public sentiment regarding Trump's ceasefire plan is largely negative and skeptical, with many questioning his intentions and the likelihood of achieving real peace. Commenters express deep frustration over the ongoing violence, particularly the humanitarian crisis affecting Palestinians, and are critical of both Hamas and the U.S. role in the negotiations. There is a strong belief that efforts towards a ceasefire are ineffective amid continuous hostilities, leading to calls for more decisive action instead of negotiations viewed as futile.

"Hamas said Friday that it has accepted some elements of Trump’s plan, including giving up power and releasing all remaining hostages...."

If true that's pretty massive.

Hamas never agreed to disarm. Even if they make good on their intentions to hand power over to other Palestinians, we'll just see Hamas continue as a fringe terrorist group


[11 Hamas members were already killed in a clash with other Gazans](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8jm2xlk1gdo). They're barely holding on to the reins, as is.

Can't believe I'm saying it on Trump, but Taco...

Hamas said no, but he just wants his Nobel prize ..

Gato__negro

I cant decide which it is, whether Trump's aid completely lied to him and didnt read him properly the bullshit Hamas was spewing, or if Trump literally didnt hear a word they said and just took away what he wanted from it.

Hamas rejected your fucking deal, the deal was clear, they are not allowed to remain in the strip, the terms Hamas is trying to weasel in, allow for a possibility for that to happen........ Netanyahu will likely reject the deal obviously, and Trump will be confused until informed as such...

Psychological-Bed543

I love how Trump thinks he can tell other countries what to do while simultaneously pursuing an isolationist foreign policy.

It's like he has no real concept of how the world works

ETA all these replies saying that Israel desperately needs the US are just so...I mean have any of you been paying attention for the last 40 years? The US has always benefited more in this relationship and Trump pretending that's not the case now is just insane.

Trump ordering peace like a BigMac at  Whitehouse gala

OtterishDreams

Netanyahu is going to screw up this deal on purpose. Israel doesn’t want to save the hostages, they want to kill and displace Palestinians.

Nahhhhhh, the IDF has Hamas surrounded in Gaza city, ending the war now is silly

Trump orders Israel to .......
Couldn't read past that point because was laughing so hard.

StoicVoyager

What a lying piece of shit. Just trying to make himself a fucking hero again. Of course he thinks he's the smartest man in the world and nobody realizes or knows that he's been backing Israel with armaments and everything that goes with them. That guy doesn't have enough guts to walk out of his bathroom by himself, sure would like to see him on the front lines. Jesus.

twrpwr1

Yes, because Israel is famous for following orders from US presidents, especially those they can blackmail with ease.

PS: Release the m-f Epstein files!

Principal_Insultant

And next week when Hamas inevitably rejects the deal, Trump will do what he did in Ukraine and increase support for Israel's bombing. My spine can't take any more whiplash from this guy.

Next... make peace between Ukraine and Ruzzia.

Netanyahu: "No!"

Trump: "Well, I've done all I can do."

tom_sa_savage

Orders? There are no "orders" in international affairs. There are suggestions, requests, threats... but no orders. Israel is a sovereign nation and will do what it believes is in its best interest. 

TinyTowel

“His peace plan” lmao nobody believes Trump actually had any part in forming this plan

RoadsideDavidian

I thought the Trump administration said that they can't just order other countries to do things because they are sovereign nations. At least that's what they said when they mistakenly deported Kilmar Garcia Abrego to El Salvador and washed their hands of him, despite SCOTUS ordering them to facilitate his return to the United States.

buck70

Yeah, good luck with that, pal. We all see how well your boy Putin listened to you.

“The Antichrist will bring peace to the Middle East” I’m just saying dude is checking off more than a few boxes for that position.

LibrarianNo6865

This absolute buffoon is so self absorbed and so insecure that he took the "Yes, but..." answer from Hamas, dropped the "but..." and was so impatient to tell the whole world that basically threw Netanyahu under the bus using the "peace deal" whose only goal was to suck Bibi's dick harder. 

Truly a masterpiece in incompetence and narcisism. No wonder israeli media is having a meltdown rn

Ko_tatsu

nerphurp

The only thing that matters as of right now is releasing the hostages. That IS Hamas' word they've agreed to per their own statement. They got three days, not however long they wish to take. And that alone is setting the ground work to unravel this.

RippingOne

Netanyahu be like Netanfuckyou we still gonna be bombing them Gazan lads

Before anyone gets too excited, they also disagreed with some parts, such as disarmament. That's always been the biggest sticking point, so this is far from a done deal.

alexander1701

&gt;Hamas has not agreed to some of the most critical parts of President Trump’s proposal. 

&gt;Also a Hamas official says that transferring the hostages to Israel in 72 hours is “unrealistic.” 

&gt;Another Hamas official says that the group will not disarm until the “Israeli occupation ends.”

And there are reports that the Hamas political branch in Qatar, who are leaning towards accepting the deal, are not on the same page of the Hamas militant leaders in Gaza, who seem to be flat out against it as they see giving up their weapons as the end of their movement.

Sounds like this isnt the end of this.

TXDobber

I was told by everyone on this entire app that releasing the hostages would end the war

kawey22

" Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday. "Every Country has signed on! If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas."

How does the saying go? Speak loudly and carry a small stick?

Bruce-7892

oh my goodness. is it silly that i am surprised by this? i never thought anything with trump's name on it would amount to anything

PhilipMyglAss

This plan was definitely made by AI in like 5 mins wasnt it

ChakaCake

This is Hamas surrendering? If they stick to it.

Sidebottle

Didnt the jews break the same exact ceasefire deal back in march after they agreed to it in January? Why would this go through this time?

[Hamas](https://inews.co.uk/topic/hamas?srsltid=AfmBOopSMXuSnuEtlbpFqUjtsjtntTjrilQzjWcSJwZUVQyfTZdNjkx4&amp;ico=in-line_link) is leaning towards rejecting Donald Trump’s Gaza proposal, according to a report, [casting doubt on the prospect of peace](https://inews.co.uk/opinion/trump-peace-plan-guarantees-future-hatred-war-3947207?ico=in-line_link) after nearly two years of bloody conflict.

The militant group is opposed to the 20-point plan, unveiled by Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu in the White House on Monday, because it “serves Israel’s interests” and “ignores those of the Palestinian people”, the BBC reported, citing a senior Hamas official.

Fawaz Gerges, professor of international relations at LSE, told *The i Paper* the deal was “not a ceasefire proposal, or a peace plan”, but an “ultimatum for Hamas to surrender or be destroyed”.

theipaper

Those in the know in Hamas know they will accept the deal, because even the Qataris made it clear to them if they don't they would lose all protection and privileges and become isis-like pariahs.

Some other officials in Hamas are clueless of this, likely because they don't really matter, and continue to issue bold statements, not realizing they lost the war when the Arab regimes turned against them.

rnev64

Welcome to the 21st century where the clear loser of an armed conflict that they initiated feels entitled to walk away with anything.

RauchenSaufen

"ignores the wills of the Palestinian people".

So a state isn't their will?

Unless the implication is that the People want Hamas to rule, which would mean Hamas does speak for the people of Gaza. Which if true there goes all the arguments they don't.

Firecracker048

Never in history has a group of people being “genocided” had the option to end the “genocide”

What a shame, everyone say goodbye to Gaza City.

In all seriousness though, Hamas must feel it can still squeeze out some sort of tactical victory out of this war through guerilla fighting - and they very well can, if the IDF isn't careful.

ZeroByter

Hamas does not want a ceasefire, peace or any Palestinian state unless Israel is destroyed. Unfortunately the only way Palestine will have peace is without Hamas approval. Palestine lost their land decades ago and it's either they cut their losses or they get absorbed into Israel. It's not fair and it's a great injustice, but the harder they have this land to sea delusion the more opportunities.the Zion extremists have to seize what's left of Palestine. 

CrunchyCds

oh god does the future look grim, the implications are clear and the consequences inevitable, may the people caught in the conflict find strenght to survive

kaneki_uzumaki20

Sadly it sense for them to reject it, more civilians killed will only help hamas and iran goals

Zestyclose_Jello6192

Can someone explain what T blair has to do with all this?

Obligation-Gloomy

We should ask the regular citizens of Gaza what they want not Hamas

iknowiknowwhereiam

Own_Thing_4364

Remember that proposal when the idf occupies all of Gaza city.

Deep_Head4645

This plan takes into account the possibility of Hamas rejecting the deal. The real question is how will the Arab countries react, will they be onboard with implementing this proposal while Israel cleans up Hamas.

dantoddd

But an anonymous source told CBS that Hamas would be surrendering earlier!

r_bradbury1

CBS News had the opposite [headline](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/trump-gaza-plan-israel-hamas-ceasefire-proposal-reaction-expected/).

costigan95

Not shocked, neither side really wants to do what is necessary. Netanyahu left the White House and immediately said they would get the hostages and remain in most of the strip. Neither side is willing to make the concessions necessary for this to happen.

Youngflyabs

What would happen if Trump deployed troops to Gaza?

fudgedhobnobs

Lots that can go wrong here. So much detail still be worked out. Not hard to see Hamas or Israel disagreement with next stage of negotiations or breaking the agreement. Major thing people keep missing, Trump finally applied pressure to Net. Question we won't know is how much but he did something.

JustAhobbyish

The proposal is effectively irrelevant since Netanyahu has already said he will oppose a Palestine state, and he wants to keep IDF forces in Palestine... This peace proposal seems like it was come up with in a single night.

Imagine the Good Friday agreement without any input from the Irish.

LonelyShadow1

It isn't a "peace deal" it is terms for surrender.

I'm coming to the realization that all of human history is a struggle between the seriously crazy, deranged, deplorable, psychopaths, sociopaths that wrestle for power and the rest of us that just want some fucking peace.

kiwimonk

That's exactly what Trump said. If Hamas won't agree then Netanyahu got his full support to do whatever necessary.

mastablasta1962

I mean this is the most tentative peace plan.  If they reject this there is no hope.

ThePickleConnoisseur

Cool.  When the peace plan begins and the conflict ends, do you think Netanyahu’s actual trial will commence?

Edit:  The real, actual portion of the trial, as opposed to the endless stalling &amp; postponements.

FlashFox24

Things have been headed in this direction since the October 7 attack on Israel. Hamas believed Israel would end the war with Hamas in control of Gaza, in order to obtain the release of all the hostages. Despite western press reports to the contrary, Israel’s intention was never to conduct a punitive expedition against Gaza to obtain a release of all hostages. It has always been to end Hamas control of Gaza, so an attack like October 7 could never be repeated. Israel needs to go ahead and finish the job before reports fed to the press by Hamas of starvation and massive civilian casualties raise a global outcry to stop the fighting prior to Hamas’ destruction.

Bama-1970

Finishing the job was the goal all along. They were just looking for a reason they can refer to.

rdldr1

Let’s be honest though, they’ll do it anyway. Hamas can be all captured and executed and the real end goal is the same. There is a reason they rose to power in the first place.

Wishful thinking. They will never disappear by using violence. There will always be a reservoir of young people willing to pick up arms if they are treated in this way. 

No-Tomatillo3698

Why even bother consulting terrorists. Israel knows what needs to be done.

Far-Bathroom-8237

As Israel intensifies attacks on Gaza, resulting in casualties, US President Donald Trump has called for an immediate halt to the violence following Hamas's acceptance of his ceasefire plan.
