Trump’s 21 Point Peace Plan: Building a Mouse Trap for Hamas
by Tzvi Ilan
President Trump’s plan to end the Gaza conflict is more than a political document—it is a brilliant strategic maneuver that traps Hamas with no escape.
The Arab world is already on board. Qatar, Turkey, Egypt—nations that once served as pillars of support for Hamas—have now endorsed the plan. The message is clear: if Hamas rejects it, it will be defying not only Trump but also its former allies. Isolation, illegitimacy, and exposure will be its only outcome.
That is the genius of the trap. Trump has not merely drafted a plan; he has forged a broad and unprecedented coalition in which every move Hamas makes results in loss. A “yes” would strip Hamas of its weapons, its power, and its murderous ideology. A “no” would leave it abandoned, ostracized even by the Arab world, and stripped of regional backing.
For Israel, this presents a rare opportunity. Hostages would be released within 72 hours. Israel would retain security control over northern Gaza and the Philadelphi Corridor, with only a gradual withdrawal to follow. Even the ambiguous clauses cannot hide the fact: this plan unmistakably advances Israeli interests.
Yet the greater achievement lies in the wider context. With Jared Kushner’s help, Trump embedded into the plan a vague reference to a future Palestinian entity—exactly what Saudi Arabia demanded. This is the key to expanding the Abraham Accords. The proposal is not just about Gaza; it is about reshaping the Middle East.
Now all eyes turn to Hamas. A rejection will grant Israel international legitimacy and full backing to continue its campaign. An acceptance will dismantle Hamas from within.
Either way, the trap is set.
Trump has not offered peace. He has offered a test. And Hamas, it seems, is destined to fail it.
Commentary from Bridge Connector: At first, I had my doubts about this plan. But after I read Tzvi’s analysis above, I realized that this is a KEEN and INSIGHTFUL analysis and I think he is right on point! Let’s not forget that Trump wrote the book, “The Art of the Deal” and he is a master at it.
Trump has built a coalition of support from Arab nations in the Middle East (including Quatar) who are “on board” with this plan. Even France and the UK are on board! If Hamas agrees to the plan, they are DEFEATED and FINISHED! If they DONT agree to the plan they will be international pariahs and totally isolated from the rest of the Arab and Western world.
Qatar, up to this point, has been a state sponsoring Hamas, aiding and abetting the top leadership of Hamas. Trump has wooed Qatar to get on with a new Middle East, and they are on board with the plan as well. Netanyahu formally apologized on the phone to the Emir of Qatar for the Qatari soldier casualty in the Israeli attack against Qatar.
Netanyahu made it clear: “We are at war with Hamas, NOT with Qatar.” So, with Qatar on board with the plan, if Hamas REJECTS the plan, guess what?
A Russian source says that if Hamas refuses the Trump plan, Qatar will expel the organization’s leaders from the country.
Netanyahu states: “I believe that today we are taking an important step towards ending the war in Gaza and preparing the ground for a dramatic advancement of peace in the Middle East. I support your plan because it achieves our war objectives. I am constantly asked what your plan is for the day after – this IS the plan!”
There will be a minor withdrawal in the first 72 hours. If the international body succeeds, the war will end. Israel will withdraw according to a disarmament that will continue in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a reward for terror – the authority cannot have a role in Gaza without a fundamental change.“
And Trump has said if Hamas rejects the plan, he has given a total green light to Israel to “go in and finish the job like you know how.”
The plan puts all the pressure and focus on Hamas (where it should be): Will they accept or reject the plan?
Trump has made a brilliant political chess move. Instead of Israel being internationally isolated, now Hamas is internationally isolated!
Hamas is now caught between two horns of a dilemma and it is a NO WIN situation for them no matter what they decide!
The President of France has said: “Hamas has no choice but to immediately release all the hostages and follow this plan”
Finally, nowhere in the plan does it state that there will be a Palestinian state. It’s BRILLIANT!
PRAYER TARGET
SCRIPTURE:
For he is cast into a net by his own feet,
And he walks into a snare. The net takes him by the heel,
And a snare lays hold of him. A noose is hidden for him on the ground, And a trap for him in the road. Job 18:8-10
PRAYER: Abba, we pray that this trap will WORK! May Hamas become the focus! May Hamas become internationally isolated! May the pressure be on Hamas to make a decision and then follow through on it. May this be CHECKMATE for Hamas!
