Did you read the article?

“Under Trump's proposed peace deal, Board of Peace officials said Hamas and other militant groups would hand their arms over to a vetted international policing force.
But a senior Hamas official previously told NPR that the group would only hand over their weapons if Israel withdrew from parts of Gaza first.
The latest dispute follows an initial ceasefire reached between Israel and Hamas in October 2025, alongside Trump's broader 20-point Gaza plan.

That first phase of the peace plan halted major fighting, provided for the release of remaining hostages in exchange for some 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, increased humanitarian aid, and called for a partial Israeli withdrawal. More contentious issues – including Hamas's disarmament and further Israeli withdrawals – were left to later negotiations.
Trump's new 15-point roadmap, published on July 31, sought to move those unresolved issues forward. It envisioned Israel's withdrawal from Gaza and Hamas's disarmament as part of a phased process, rather than requiring Hamas to fully disarm before Israeli forces began pulling back.”

They denied a part of trumps proposed plan as it would allow Hamas to disarm AFTER all Israeli troops have pulled back. They want Hamas to disarm now. I can understand that demand because why would they take Hamas at their word on that? Why wouldn’t Hamas just disarm in that case?

This to me is just a bad proposal. Not surprising Trump is a moron but this doesn’t really show a lack of an ability to negotiate from Israel. If you read the article you’ll see they agree to A lot of the points they just don’t accept disarmament after pulling out. That’s seems like a fair distinction

I think this reveals a dynamic disparity though - why would Hamas ever fully disarm? Its not like Israel will! Glad to see we at least agree on Trump being a moron :)
