Netanyahu Agrees to Trump’s Gaza Ceasefire Plan at White House Meeting
Trump: “If Hamas rejects the deal,” Israel to “have our full backing to do what you would have to do.”
President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed on a comprehensive plan to end the war in Gaza, the two leaders announced following a meeting at the White House on Monday afternoon. “I support your plan to end the war in Gaza which achieves our war aims,” Prime Minister Netanyahu said at the joint press conference after the Oval Office meeting.
Hamas has yet to agree to the deal, President Trump said. If the Iran-backed terrorist group were to reject the plan, Israel would have ‘full’ U.S. backing to ‘finish the job’ in Gaza, he assured.
“If Hamas rejects the deal, which is always possible — they’re the only ones left, everyone else has accepted it, but I have a feeling that we’re going to have a positive answer,” President Trump said. “But if not, as you know, Bibi, you’d have our full backing to do what you would have to do.”

During the meeting, the White House released the much-anticipated 20-point “Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict.”
“The plan calls for a temporary governing board that would be headed by Trump and include former British Prime Minister Tony Blair,” the Associated Press reported. “The plan does not require people to leave Gaza and calls for the war to end immediately if both sides accept it. It also calls for all remaining hostages to be released within 72 hours of Israel accepting the plan.”
Trump: Arab, Muslim states to disarm Hamas
Under the Trump plan, Arab and Muslim states will be responsible for disarming Hamas, a measure the terrorist group has rejected in the past. BBC reported:
Trump says the bodies of hostages who have died will be returned immediately, if the peace plan is agreed to. He says it will also mean “the immediate end to the war itself”.
Arab and Muslim countries have committed to “de-militarise Gaza” quickly, as part of the plan.
Hamas rejects Trump’s demand to disarm
In its initial response to the White House press conference, Hamas appears to have rejected the call to hand over weapons, a key requirement for the 20-point plan to succeed, Israel’s Ynetnews reported:
Against the backdrop of the Washington talks, senior Hamas official Taher al-Nounou told the Qatari network Al-Araby that Hamas was not part of the negotiations over the U.S. initiative. “So far there have been no direct or indirect discussions on the plan,” he said, adding that Hamas knew of it only through media leaks.
He insisted that Hamas would not give up its weapons and tied the release of Israeli hostages to a complete end to the war and an IDF withdrawal from Gaza. Hamas, he said, was prepared to discuss a long-term cease-fire and had accepted an Egyptian proposal for an independent administration in Gaza.

At the onset of the meeting, the two leaders shook hands and cordially greeted each other at the White House driveway.
Before heading inside, President Trump told reporters that “very confident” that a ceasefire deal was within grasp. Last week, he floated a 21-point plan for ending the war in Gaza, which Hamas started on October 7, 2023, with the horrific massacre of over 12000 Israelis and the kidnapping of 251 hostages.
On Sunday, President Trump had hinted at a major development regarding the Middle East. “We have a real chance for Greatness in the Middle East. All are on board for something special, first time ever. We will get it done,” He posted on Truth Social.

Prime Minister Netanyahu acknowledged mutual grievances between the two countries, including Qatar’s long-standing support for the Islamic terror group Hamas. He assured Prime Minister Al Thani that Israel had no plans to strike the Qatar-based Hamas leadership. The Israeli leader also proposed setting up a U.S.-Israel-Qatar trilateral forum to mediate differences.
The White House released the transcript of the phone call, The Times of Israel reported:
“Mr. Prime Minister, I want you to know that Israel regrets that one of your citizens was killed in our strike,” says Netanyahu, according to his office.
The call was arranged by US President Donald Trump, and took place while Netanyahu was in the White House.
“I want to assure you that Israel was targeting Hamas, not Qataris,” he continues, adding that “Israel has no plan to violate your sovereignty again in the future, and I have made that commitment to the president.”
Netanyahu tells Al Thani that he knows “your leadership has grievances against Israel and Israel has grievances against Qatar, from support for the Muslim Brotherhood to how Israel is portrayed on Al Jazeera to support for anti Israel sentiment on collage campuses.”
He adds that he welcomes Trump’s initiative of establishing a trilateral forum to address “outstanding grievances.”

The chances of Hamas agreeing to this proposal is equal to – no, actually less than – the chances of Adriana Lima agreeing to go on a date with me.
Which makes the situation clearer as the truth of the matter is that some people should not be allowed to walk on the face of the earth.
Hamas is one such group.
I don’t think so. They will agree to it then just give endless excuses why they are not upholding it
Which is why at the minimum ALL hostages, dead or alive –
must be returned as step #1.
The alternative is ALL Hamas, dead or alive.
“The alternative is ALL Hamas, dead or alive.”
You are 50% correct.
And there’s the genius:
“Trump: “If Hamas rejects the deal,” Israel to “have our full backing…”
Hamas won’t last a week without peeing the bed. They’re incapable of it.
Trump has just legitimized any Israeli solution by coming in on the winning side of a sucker bet, and now the rest of the world just has to choke on it.
Oh please, they’ll accept the deal right up to the point they have regrouped and rearmed and then they’ll quickly violate any agreement made with Trump and Netanyahu. Guaranteed. That’s what they’ve done before and that’s what they’ll do now. Use any “agreements” to recover and then attack. The only difference will be that Hamas and their Arab terrorist supporters will attack again with even more barbarity and savagery than they displayed on October 7th. because they know this time around they’ve got everything to lose. It’s do or die and Hamas knows it. And they’ll die and take as many Jews with them as they can.
That’s why the hostages must be released within 72 hours. It’s essentially the first step. This is classic Trumpian “art of the deal”. Israel is poised for the final stage, and one last deal is offered in a take-it-or-leave-it fashion. And according to the map that was released, Israel retains the new buffer zone along the border.
That is literally the only thing that’s any good about this proposal.
Bless. Hamas thinks they have options here 😂😂 They need to read the writing on the wall. The game is up. Europe is not coming to save them and, horror amongst horrors, the Jews are just one NO away from go full medieval on the assess 😂😂
Oh please, Netanyahu doesn’t have the political balls to take the necessary steps to ensure that Hamas and the rest of the Arab terrorist never threaten Israel or Israelis ever again. If he had, he would have taken those steps on Oct. 8th 2023 without hesitation. That’s this whole thing has been allowed to drag on for two long years is telling. Netanyahu simply doesn’t have the will to do what is necessary to protect Israelis or Israel from the Arab terrorists that seek to destroy it. So nope, no going “full medieval” on their hind ends. They’ll end up with yet another “peace agreement” that will be violated by Hamas or its successor at some point in the future rest once they’ve had the time to regroup and rearm themselves.
He has always had the will, and the force, to get it done.
What he DIDN’T have, is support from the Biden administration, and without that, the US would have choked-off Israel’s supply of aircraft bombs and other munitions and parts, crippling any long- or medium-term military actions.
With today’s deal, if Hamass backs-out or blunders in any way, he will have full support from the USA, and will grind them into dust, and make the rubble bounce.
Blah, blah, blah. The Biden regime was going to choke off Israel’s supply of aircraft bombs and other munitions and parts regardless of what Netanyahu did or did not do. So of course, Netanyahu took the easy way out and kowtowed to the Biden regime and their demands instead of making the hard decisions and eliminating their avowed enemy once and for all.
With today’s deal Trump and Netanyahu have given Hamas and their Arab terrorist supporters time to regroup, rearm, and plan their next attack against Israel. That is all.
You’re finally realizing what I’ve been telling people here for well over a decade. Netanyahu is a gasbag, full of talk but no will to act at all. His entire political career, from his first election in 1996, has been one long story of speaking boldly and then caving and refusing to do the right thing. He’s Israel’s Lindsay Graham. And he’s been doing it for 30 years now.
And now he’s just guaranteed Hamas that they are safe in Qatar and he won’t ever strike them there again.
Gasbag might be more appropriate for others, but not Netanyahu, despite what people tell us. Confortable in that armchair typing away?
Yes, Netanyahu. Have you been observing him in action for over 30 years, since he first entered the Knesset? Were you watching him completely change his positions in the 1996 campaign, and then how he acted immediately upon taking office? Practically the first thing he did in office was give Chevron away to Arafat, despite knowing that it would result in dead Jews. He promised that the first time a shot came from the Abu Sneineh hills, the tanks would be there to take them back; when baby Shalhevet was murdered, there were not tanks. He’s a disgrace to his distinguished father, brother, and father-in-law.
Too judgmental and all knowing. Not only about this subject. Have you tried to run Israel? Despite it all, it seems to be doing fine and may be entering a new era. What a failure.
He is not doing fine. He is doing terrible, the Supreme Court and the career DOJ are still running the state and giving orders to the elected government, the Kaplan rioters have got everything they wanted, and it makes no difference how anyone votes, because Netanyahu has refused every opportunity to do anything.
Hamas survives and over a thousand soldiers have been killed, because Netanyahu didn’t have the guts to enforce a total siege on October 8, 2023.
The PA survives, and has murdered thousands, because in 1996 he accepted Oslo as legitimate and refused to dismantle it, and gave Chevron away to it.
Hamas has power because he stayed in Sharon’s cabinet and voted for the “disengagement” until the last minute when it was too late to stop it, and only then performatively resigned from the cabinet and started denouncing it.
He has driven potential rivals out of the Likud and into the hands of the left, or out of politics altogether. He has sold all principles to retain power. He was the first to offer to establish a government on the basis of Arab votes, and then got upset when Bennett successfully did it.
When the ridiculous platypus of a Bennett government was established he should have taken it as his cue to retire from politics and let the right unite around a new leader. But he refused, so that ridiculous and dysfunctional government, which was only ever intended to last a few months, lasted years.
I could go on. He had a good father and father-in-law, and a good brother, but he didn’t follow their examples.
So quick to jump the man. Of course he’s not doing fine. He has admirers like yourself. The comment said Israel is doing fine, under his leadership, even if not to your standards of perfection and knowing what is best.
Israel is not doing fine, for all the reasons I just gave. It’s stuck in this two-year war with no visible end, after having suffered the worst attack since independence, because Netanyahu accepted what they’re now calling the “conceptzia” — the conception that Hamas can be bargained with, that its leaders can be bribed, that a few concessions here and there, allowing suitcases of cash from Qatar to be sent, issuing a few more work permits, etc., could keep it in line and prevent it from a suicidal attack.
And the only reason Hamas even got hold of the strip in the first place was because of the “disengagement”, in which Netanyahu was complicit all while he was denouncing it in public.
Israel is a dictatorship run by the judiciary and the DOJ lawyers, with the elected government no more than a facade, because Netanyahu for decades rejected all attempts to repair the situation, and when he was finally forced by coalition politics to allow the 2023 attempt at reform he jumped at the first opportunity to sabotage it.
Israel is doing fine. Where was Iran a year ago? Where was Hezbollah? Hamas? And now the Arabs are on the verge of peace and Europe has bought in. Haters will always be present and doomsayers like yourself. But the situation is much improved and moving in the right direction.
Oh bless, it’s like rwaacists like you haven’t been paying attention have you 😂😂😂
Be nervous if your pager goes off 😂😂
Also, this is what diplomacy looks like. F88k knows why Europe couldn’t have done this (actually we all know why, because they detest the juices almost as much as Hamas and Hesbullah does).
I really cannot wait for the Nobel peace prize to be awarded to Trump 😂 That would be quite the sight given the left was utterly determined to believe Trump was a threat to world peace 😂😂
He would never be offered it, and if he were he should turn it down. Accepting it would stain him. And he doesn’t need the money.
I’m being sarcastic 😂 We all know it takes more to get a gong, like a pretty speech or something, than mere peace in the Middle East 😂
“Comprehensive plan to end the war in Gaza”. Are the fecking kidding? Trump can’t be that stupid can he? And Netanyahu should know better. They’ll end the “war in Gaza” giving Hamas and the other Arab terrorists time to regroup and rearm and the minute they feel they are ready they’ll attack Israel once again with even more barbarity and savagery then they did on October 7th. Guaranteed.
The only plan that will leave Israel safe and in peace is the elimination of those Arab terrorists that seek their destruction with no quarter given. Their only goal is the destruction of Israel and it’s totally worthless to negotiate with such people. Israel needs to end the problem now so it won’t have to deal with the problem in the near future. That is all.
The only way peace will arrive in Gaza among the terrorists is the old joke. Build a wall completely around Gaza. Every year climb a ladder and look in. When there is only one left alive, shoot him.
Hamas are insane Jew haters and will not stop until Israel is nuked
This is a good-faith diplomatic effort to show — for the umpteenth time — that Israel seeks and has always sought peace with its Arab neighbors.
Trust that the Hamas terrorist thugs — Arab invaders from Arabia in Gaza, — following the imperatives and dictates of their genocidal and fanatical ideology, will continue to wage Islamic “holy war” against Israeli Jews.
I hate to be so cynical but what usually happens is the “international community “ meaning Europe and useless Australia and Canada say nothing in support of the plan; putting zero pressure on Hamas and the Palestinians. Hamas rejects the plan and continues killing people, as is their one objective and purpose. And the same so called international community blames Israel. Rinse wash repeat. More lies get blasted as Israel continues to fight Hamas. More money flows to extremist Jew haters and onwards we march towards the loss of all the hostages and the inevitable continued bandwagon demonizing of all Jewish people. I pray this time is different t but I’ve seen this play out too many times since the failed Oslo accords.
This is probably a good thing. Keep Europe out of the way and make the Arabs take responsibility for ensuring peace while they normalise relations with Israel.
Hamas can’t be trusted to uphold any agreement.
Nor can the “Arab and Moslem states” who are supposed to do the disarming and demilitarization.
It seems only Hamas has not yet bought in. Perhaps it will happen. Give peace a chance. Give the people a chance. They have only known oppression. The choices are now simple. Depending on what happens, no one should be confused of what was on the table or the Israeli resolve to reach its enemies.
This is win, win for netanyahu. He knows damn well the Hamas will never accept it but he gets to wolf magnanimous for making the offer. So they’ll say no and then he’ll get to beat the crap out of them anyhow with the full blessings of the president of the United States to boot.
It will be yet another example of the Jews seeking peace that the world will ignore.
And he’s just promised them that Qatar will be a free and safe sanctuary where they are guaranteed Israel won’t attack them.
A promise with a little “you saw what we did right” wink 😉 😂😂
And a “We promise never to do it again”.
Trump is the best president of the United States to be an American Ally to, and this being a conflict of civilization against barbarism and disinformation by leftist fanatics vs reality helps to make him the best ally Israel has had since biblical times.
HOWEVER
Israel is under Netanyahu not Trump and I do not know that Netanyahu will not squander yet another opportunity if Hamas persists in rejecting Trump’s terms.
It has been two years and Netanyahu seems completely wedded to raids and drone and other airstrikes and not holding ground.
I have no confidence this will not be yet another chance squandered by Netanyahu if Hamas refuses to sign the articles.
I hope Trump saved Israel by doing this. If it doesn’t don’t expect Netanyahu to get any better. To put how badly Israel is doing in the court of public opinion a full HALF of what Charlie Kirk debated on campuses was Israel.
The only chance that might be squandered here is finishing off Hamas and their supporters.
