President Donald Trump's welcome of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) agreeing to his initiative came as a surprise to many, especially Israel, whose politicians remained silent in an attempt to understand what was happening, allowing Israeli analysts and commentators to express their shock at the American stance.
Since taking office in the White House, Trump has not hidden that he is the owner of achievements and that he has managed to stop many wars and crises around the world, which he has expressed on numerous occasions.
The latest was what he said to Israeli Channel 13: "This is not the only agreement I have achieved during my term; I have achieved several agreements before it," and it seems that Hamas worked to give the American president a chance to achieve what he aspires to in terms of achieving peace in the region.
However, amidst this celebration by Hamas and others of Trump's position, it should not be overlooked that the White House is controlled by the policies of the deep state, lobbies, and the circle of relations.
This was evident in his statements today; he confirmed that he would not tolerate any delay on Hamas's part and that the movement must act quickly "or else all possibilities will be on the table."
Trump's celebration of Hamas's position last night and his demand for Israel to stop bombing the Gaza Strip, along with his hint today of punishing the movement if it delays in implementing the plan, raises questions about future scenarios regarding the implementation of the plan.
Yes, and Hamas's response, which was neither a complete "yes" nor a necessary "no," showed the maturity of the movement, which continues to surprise its supporters before its enemies, and its position was coupled with a request for clarifications and negotiations on some points.
Thus, it placed the ball in the court of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and put him in a corner, especially after the wave of international welcome to the movement's approval, which gives the movement a margin of maneuver to stop the war and the occupation's withdrawal from the Strip.
Hamas's agreement to release the prisoners all at once is fundamentally an offer it made since the beginning of the aggression on the Strip.
While it kept the door open for negotiations on the details, timeline, and guarantees, it also confirmed its rejection of guardianship by demanding a Palestinian local administration within a national consensus.
The movement also did not address the issue of surrendering its weapons, which showed that the movement sought to indicate that it had no objection to agreeing to everything proposed except for the issue of arms, which it subjected to the establishment of a state that many countries around the world have recently recognized.
Hamas's "yes" and its "no" placed Trump's plan before two scenarios.
The first scenario: a deal to stop the war. This scenario depends on Trump's position in dealing with this file, as the American president may rely on the necessity of showing this achievement as a peacemaker and the one responsible for stopping wars, which makes him a potential candidate for the Nobel Prize that he has often expressed the need to be awarded.
Especially with the international interaction regarding the war on Gaza, which the Palestinian cause has not witnessed before.
At this point, he may pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire to release the captive soldiers, end the prisoners' file, and leave the remaining points for negotiations that will not take place under fire as Netanyahu wanted.
Hamas is supported in this by the Arab and Islamic stance, following the statement of Pakistani Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar, who said that the plan announced by Trump to end the war does not reflect the document that Pakistan and the Arab and Islamic countries reviewed during their meeting with him in New York.
And the statement of Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani that some points of the plan need discussion and clarification.
The other scenario: Trump's retreat and pressure on Hamas. It can be said that Netanyahu will work to sway Trump's position in his favor, as he has always bragged about Trump's support for him and his alignment with his demands regarding the war on Gaza.
This position would pressure Hamas and put it in a difficult position before its allies if they aligned with the American stance.
It also requires Hamas to maneuver once again and show its ability to turn corners and hold Israel responsible for the failure to reach an agreement.
This scenario could return the war to its initial state and give Netanyahu the green light to continue the genocide in the Strip, which Hamas seeks to stop.
This is what Netanyahu prefers; the political affairs correspondent for Kan Israeli Channel reported from Netanyahu's office that Israel is preparing, in light of Hamas's
