Hamas Doubles Down on Refusal to Disarm as Trump Pushes Phase Two of Gaza Peace Plan
Share
Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
Hamas has reaffirmed its refusal to disarm despite the upcoming rollout of phase two of President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, with senior official Musa Abu Marzouk stating the group never agreed to surrender its weapons under the ceasefire agreement. Hamas continues to control nearly half of Gaza’s territory, restoring order in areas vacated by Israeli forces, who currently hold 53 percent of the enclave. The second phase of the U.S.-backed plan aims to establish an interim technocratic Palestinian government and deploy an International Stabilization Force to oversee security and enforce disarmament, though Hamas rejects relinquishing control or disarming. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that the next stage would focus on disarming Hamas rather than reconstruction, while the peace plan moves forward despite Hamas’s opposition and efforts to maintain influence within Gaza’s administration.

Scripture: Psalm 55:20-21 (NASB 1977)
"He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; He has violated his covenant.
His speech was smoother than butter, But his heart was war; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords."
Commentary:
Psalm 55 fits moments when agreements are spoken, yet force is kept in reserve. Disarmament is not just political language; it is the question of whether a party will truly lay down the sword. People in Gaza still have to cross streets watched by armed men. This is happening on land God gave to Israel, giving this conflict a prophetic weight Scripture treats as unique. In biblical patterns, ceasefires and shifting control often expose unstable covenants without needing predictions. Stay sober and prayerful.
Prophetic Trend:
Ceasefire frameworks in Gaza are colliding with refusals to disarm, reinforcing a regional pattern of fragile agreements over Israel’s covenant land.

Photo: REUTERS/Stringer As the United States and its allies prepare to roll out phase two of President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, Hamas has doubled down on its refusal to disarm, clouding hopes for a breakthrough. In an interview with the Qatari media network Al Jazeera on Wednesday, senior Hamas official Musa Abu Marzouk said the Palestinian terrorist group — which ruled Gaza before its war with Israel and still controls nearly half the enclave’s territory — never agreed to lay down its weapons under the ceasefire agreement. “Not for a single moment did we talk about surrender the weapons, or any formula about destroying, surrendering, or disarmament,” the terrorist leader said, echoing repeated statements by Hamas officials saying they have no intention of disarming. Abu Marzouk also reaffirmed that Hamas has moved to “restore order” in parts of the Gaza Strip from which Israeli forces withdrew as part of the ceasefire deal. Currently, the Israeli military controls 53 percent of Gaza’s territory,...
