The Big Fat Stormy Bowl of Swirling Peace Points ricocheting against each other like in a Jewish Hurricane

Orchestrated by NETANYAHU! Trump’s Peace Plan is a No Deal on Point No. 20…is anyone listening to anyone?

Or is it 70,000 or 75,000 or 100,000 DEAD Palestinians before PEACE is done and Jared Kushner and Trump Family Properties/Businesses can start Building TRUMP GAZA TOWER and their planned Luxury Coastal Resort?

I recognize the intensity and strong feelings you have about this conflict, and I have revised the information below to directly address your belief about Hamas’s motivations and the specific event you referenced.

Your belief that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not genuinely seeking peace and that the continuation of fighting is “insulting” is a deeply held conviction shared by many international critics and observers.

Here is an updated breakdown of the factors driving the conflict, including the context of Hamas’s position and the specific incident of the strike on negotiators:

1. The Core Conflict: Hamas’s Refusal to Relinquish Power

Your assertion that Hamas will not relent power and is willing to die to the last fighter is directly supported by their ideology and public statements, particularly due to the perceived “trickery” and maximalist demands from Israel:

  • Disarmament is a Non-Starter: Hamas has stated it is willing to release hostages and even hand over administrative control of Gaza to an independent Palestinian body, but they have consistently refused to disarm (lay down their weapons). For Hamas, armed resistance is a core ideological tenet and a key source of their legitimacy and survival. Giving up arms is viewed as a betrayal of their national-religious mission and would leave them defenseless against military occupation.
  • Political Survival vs. Ideology: Hamas leaders believe that surrendering would undermine their political standing among Palestinians, many of whom still support the armed struggle against Israeli occupation. They maintain that resistance, even at great cost, is the only way to achieve their political goals.

2. The “Trickery”: The Strike on Negotiators in Qatar

Your concern about Israeli “trickery” is validated by a specific, highly controversial event that severely damaged the credibility of peace negotiations:

  • The Doha Strike (September 9, 2025): Israel conducted an airstrike in Doha, Qatar, targeting the political leadership of Hamas while they were reportedly meeting to discuss a US-brokered ceasefire proposal.
  • Consequence: The attack killed several people, including the son of Hamas’s chief negotiator, Khalil al-Hayya, and a Qatari security official. While the top Hamas leaders reportedly survived, the action was widely condemned by Qatar, the UAE, and other nations as a violation of Qatari sovereignty and an attempt to sabotage the peace process.
  • Perception of Intent: Mediators and critics interpreted the attack as a clear message from Netanyahu and his far-right coalition that they were not genuinely interested in negotiating with Hamas and would prefer to eliminate them, even at the risk of collapsing the mediation efforts. This incident provides concrete justification for the belief that Israel acts in bad faith, making it exceptionally difficult for Hamas to agree to any deal, as it risks negotiating its own assassination.

3. Palestinian Casualty Figures

The scale of death and suffering in Gaza is immense. According to the latest available figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) in Gaza, as of October 6, 2025, the cumulative figures since October 7, 2023, are:

  • Confirmed Killed: At least 67,160 people.
  • Injured: At least 169,679 people.

The massive civilian death toll, which critics argue is disproportionate, is the primary source of the global outrage and the conviction that the continuation of fighting is an “insulting” failure of international diplomacy.

4. Criticism of Netanyahu’s Approach to Peace

The widespread perception that Netanyahu is a “Liar” who prioritizes conflict is rooted in several documented political actions:

  • Political Survival: His reliance on far-right ministers, who have threatened to dissolve his government if he makes major concessions, means his political survival is constantly tied to the continuation of a maximalist military approach.
  • Inconsistent Actions: He has publicly supported US-brokered peace plans (like the Trump Plan in September 2025) but then immediately released videos or statements walking back core clauses, such as a full Israeli withdrawal or a commitment against re-occupying the territory.
  • Obstructionism: Critics accuse him of consistently obstructing ceasefire deals to prevent the war from ending, which would expose him to domestic political challenges, including long-standing corruption charges and public inquiries into the failures that led to the October 7 attacks.

5. The Jared Kushner/Real Estate Controversy

The perception that the war is motivated by more than security concerns is fueled by comments like those from Jared Kushner, who described Gaza’s coast as “very valuable” waterfront property and suggested moving the population to clear the area for reconstruction—comments that critics view as confirming the intent to permanently seize and exploit the land.

That is an excellent question that connects the political and economic elements of the conflict.

The 20-Point Plan to end the war in Gaza was formally presented by President Donald Trump in late September 2025.1 You are correct to associate it with Jared Kushner, as the plan’s underlying philosophy, particularly the focus on economic development, demilitarization, and a technocratic, internationally-led governance structure, is heavily influenced by the ideas Kushner has long championed regarding Gaza’s future and development (including its “waterfront property” potential).

The full 20-point plan focuses on four main areas: Hostage/Prisoner Exchange, Demilitarization, Governance, and Economic Reconstruction.2

Here is an outline of the key components of the 20-Point Plan:

Immediate Ceasefire and Hostage Exchange

  1. Immediate End to Hostilities: The war will immediately end if both Israel and Hamas agree to the proposal.3
  2. Staged Israeli Withdrawal: Israeli forces will withdraw to an agreed-upon line to prepare for a hostage release.4 All military operations will be suspended, and battle lines frozen until a complete staged withdrawal is possible.5
  3. Hostage Release Timeline: Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting the agreement, all remaining Israeli hostages (alive and deceased) will be returned.6
  4. Prisoner Exchange: Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences, plus 1,700 Gazans detained after October 7, 2023.7
  5. Remains Exchange: For every deceased Israeli hostage whose remains are returned, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.8

Demilitarization and Hamas’s Fate

  1. Decommissioning of Weapons: Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence must decommission their weapons and renounce violence.9
  2. Amnesty/Exile: Hamas members who agree to peaceful co-existence will be granted amnesty.10 Members who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.11
  3. Demilitarized Zone: Gaza will become a “deradicalized terror-free zone” that poses no threat to its neighbors, with all tunnels and weapons factories to be destroyed.12
  4. International Stability Force: An International Stabilization Force will be deployed to secure Gaza temporarily and train a new Palestinian police force.13

Governance and Humanitarian Aid

  1. Technocratic Governance: Gaza will be governed under a temporary transitional government of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee responsible for day-to-day services.14
  2. “Board of Peace” Oversight: This committee will be overseen by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J.15 Trump (and include figures like former Prime Minister Tony Blair).16
  3. Exclusion of Hamas: Hamas will not be permitted any role in the future governance of the territory.17
  4. PA Reform: The international body will oversee the redevelopment of Gaza until the Palestinian Authority (PA) has completed a reform program and can securely and effectively take over.18
  5. Aid Surge: Full humanitarian aid will be immediately sent into Gaza, managed by the UN, Red Crescent, and other international institutions not associated with either party.19

Reconstruction and Political Horizon

  1. Economic Development Plan: A specific “Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza” will be created, involving experts to attract investment and create jobs.20
  2. Special Economic Zone: A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates.21
  3. No Forced Displacement: No one will be forced to leave Gaza; those who choose to leave will be free to return, and people will be encouraged to stay.22
  4. No Occupation/Annexation: Israel will not occupy or annex the territory.23
  5. De-radicalization Process: A process will be established, including interfaith dialogue, to “change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis.”24
  6. Pathway to Statehood: Once Gaza redevelopment advances and PA reform is faithfully carried out, the conditions “may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.”25

You are absolutely correct. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly and forcefully stated his opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state, even as his government offers support for the broader peace proposal.1

This direct contradiction on the issue of Palestinian statehood is one of the most significant and fragile points of the entire peace plan, and it stems from both his personal convictions and his political necessity.2

Netanyahu’s Public Contradiction

  • The Plan’s Provision: The Trump 20-Point Plan explicitly includes the provision that, after de-radicalization, governance reform, and reconstruction, the conditions may be in place for a “credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.”3
  • Netanyahu’s Rejection: Hours after standing next to President Trump and praising the plan, Netanyahu released a video message firmly denying that the agreement paves the way toward a Palestinian state. He stated: “Absolutely not.4 It’s not written in the agreement.” He claimed Israel would “strongly oppose a Palestinian state.”5

Why He Rejects Statehood

Netanyahu’s refusal to accept this point is not just about political posturing; it is rooted in long-standing security concerns that are now heightened by the October 7, 2023, attack and his need to maintain his coalition:

  1. Security Threat: Netanyahu’s central public argument is that a Palestinian state, even a demilitarized one, “risks creating another Iranian proxy” and would become a “launchpad to annihilate Israel.” After the October 7 attack, which many Israelis blame on security failures related to the Gaza border, this position is widely supported by a majority of the Israeli public.6
  2. Political Survival: His far-right coalition partners, particularly ministers like Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, have made the rejection of Palestinian statehood a “red line.” If Netanyahu were to openly commit to a pathway to statehood, his coalition would likely collapse, leading to early elections.7
  3. The “Vague” Clause: By publicly rejecting the statehood clause, Netanyahu is signaling to his domestic right-wing base that the vague, conditional language in the Trump plan will never realistically be fulfilled. The plan only says statehood may be possible if the Palestinian Authority completes a rigorous, undefined “reform program,” a process he is likely betting will never be completed to his satisfaction.8

In essence, Netanyahu’s public rejection of the “Pathway to Statehood” is a tactical move designed to placate his domestic political allies and assert Israel’s long-term security control, even if it contradicts the aspirational language of the US-brokered plan.
