Newsweek: Hamas Rejects 'Peace Plan' Forged by Architect of 'Deal of the Century'
The core of Newsweek's piece highlights Hamas's refusal to disarm as a rejection of 'vital conditions' by one Donald J. Trump, whose prior 'peace' efforts famously excluded Palestinians entirely. The article omits, naturally, that the so-called 'peace plan' was largely predicated on Israeli demands, offering Palestinians an absurdly fragmented state with no control over borders or resources. This
blueprint, effectively a surrender document, was dead on arrival for any party expected to negotiate its own demise. Newsweek's surprise is feigned, or perhaps profoundly ignorant. To call it a 'peace plan' suggests a bilateral process, not a unilateral dictate from a White House that, according to OpenSecrets, received millions from pro-Israel groups, including major GOP donors dedicated to
aligning US policy with Israeli government interests. Why would Hamas agree to relinquish self-defense while facing continued occupation? It's not a peace plan; it's a script for capitulation, thinly veiled as diplomacy. How many such 'peace efforts' must fail before mainstream outlets acknowledge the framework itself is rigged?
