White House Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff claimed Thursday that Hamas officials told him and fellow Trump aide Jared Kushner that the terror group wanted to disarm during their “famous meeting” hours before the ceasefire was inked on October 9.
“Hamas has always indicated that they would disarm. They’ve said so — they said it to us directly during that famous meeting that Jared had with them,” Witkoff recalled, speaking to the America Business Forum conference in Miami.
Of course Hamas will keep its word, Mr. Witkoff. When has Hamas ever told a lie, or misled anyone? See, there’s nothing to worry about.
“I hope that they keep their word because if they do, they’ll understand that the development plan that we have for Gaza is really terrific — a lot better than anyone has ever discussed before,” he continued, adding that it will include a “tremendous jobs program.”
Of course Hamas will gladly give up its arms, as you and Jared were promised. After all, the terror group wants to see Gazans thrive, with good jobs at good wages, as they both clear away the rubble and proceed to rebuild. When has Hamas ever shown indifference to the wellbeing of Gazans?
Hamas officials have publicly taken a different stance, insisting either that the group will not disarm or have dodged the question entirely when pressed….
Oops. It sounds as if Hamas is not going to disarm after all, despite the promise it made to Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Could they have been fooling the Americans all along?
Hamas is obligated under the Trump plan to completely disarm. There is no exception made for light arms. Rifles and guns in the hands of Hamas have killed hundreds of Israelis, including those murdered on October 7, 2023.
