Israel’s Concessions, Hamas’ Revival: The Ceasefire That Puts Terror First

Hamas’ “High Responsibility” Farce: Israel’s Mind-Boggling Concessions for a Hostage Trickling Deal That Restores Hamas’ Power.

While Israel’s soldiers continue to fight, bleed, and fall to dismantle Hamas’ reign of terror in Gaza, reports now reveal that Hamas has begun “internal consultations with high responsibility” (their words, not ours) to consider a ceasefire deal that would restore their grip on Gaza’s aid pipelines, grant them a gradual Israeli withdrawal, and trickle out hostages over two months – while they regroup, rearm, and rebuild their terror infrastructure under the world’s approving gaze.

What Hamas Is Getting

• International Legitimacy under the pretense of “negotiations.”
• Control over humanitarian aid (which they have historically siphoned, sold, and taxed to fund terror salaries).
• A gradual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, piece by piece, with maps to ensure they get precisely what they want.
• A 60-day ceasefire effectively shielding them from IDF strikes while they reconstitute command structures and weapons caches.
• A pathway to a permanent ceasefire on Hamas’ terms, not Israel’s.

What Israel Gets

• 10 live hostages and 18 bodies – but on Hamas’ drip schedule over 60 days, with the final 2 live hostages withheld until the last possible moment (Day 50).
• A promise that Hamas will “discuss” ending the conflict, while it uses the ceasefire to plan its next October 7th.
• Empty assurances from the same Qatari and Egyptian mediators who have failed to curb Hamas’ aggression for decades.

The Phased Hostage Ransom Schedule

• Day 1: 8 live hostages released
• Day 7: 5 bodies handed over
• Day 30: 5 more bodies handed over
• Day 50: 2 live hostages released
• Day 60: 8 more bodies handed over

In return for these crumbs of humanity, Israel is expected to withdraw from northern and southern Gaza on Hamas’ timeline while foreign aid, managed by the UN and the Red Crescent (organizations known to employ Hamas-affiliated individuals), floods into Hamas’ coffers.

Humanitarian Aid as Hamas’ Lifeline

Hamas has repeatedly used “humanitarian aid” to fund its war machine, selling goods on the black market to pay salaries to its fighters and officials. Israel’s acceptance of a framework that allows Hamas to oversee and profit from aid is tantamount to financing its own enemies while they plot the next massacre.

The American Fingerprint

The current outline reportedly originated from US Envoy Steve Witkoff’s initiative in June, with direct involvement from President Donald Trump to secure the deal. While Israel has approved this proposal, Hamas has signaled conditional acceptance, demanding guarantees for a complete Israeli withdrawal and the continued flow of aid under their control. Prime Minister Netanyahu will be traveling to Washington over the weekend for a July 7th meeting with President Trump at the White House.

Many have speculated that the President is forcing Netanyahu to agree to the deal, most likely to satisfy his counterpart in Qatar who has spent considerable resources trying to influence the administration and Republican lawmakers along with a push on conservative media in the United States as exposed by Washington Examiner's Robert Schmad in May.

On his recent visit to Qatar, President Trump accepted an opulently decorated Boeing 747 airplane from the Islamist regime that he used to call a State Sponsor of Terror. That plane, estimated to be valued at anywhere between $400 and $800 million is now being assessed by the U.S. Air Force on how much it will cost to make it a suitable replacement for "Air Force One" the Presidential fleet of planes. The most optimistic assessment thus far has been that it could cost around $500 million of taxpayer dollars and would be ready less than a year before Trump leaves office.

The plane, would then be transferred to his personal Presidential Library upon his departure from the White House, effectively handing Trump a plane worth close to $1 billion to use privately after his term ends. 

The Road to a “Permanent Ceasefire”

Under the agreement:

🔸 Negotiations on a permanent ceasefire will begin on Day 1, with arrangements across four axes to commence immediately.
🔸 Hamas’ narrative calls this a “pathway to end the aggression,” but in reality, it is a pathway to secure their survival, ensure their control over Gaza, and cement their legitimacy while Israel retreats under international pressure.

The Bottom Line

What is dressed up as a “highly responsible consultation” by Hamas is a tactical maneuver to reestablish their power under the cover of international legitimacy. The world demands Israel make “painful concessions” while Hamas prepares to outlast its enemy, armed once again by misdirected aid and shielded by false promises of peace.

Israel is on the verge of trading victory for a mirage – enabling the same genocidal regime that orchestrated October 7 to rebuild, rearm, and repeat, with the world’s blessing.
