Meaningless: Deal failed to permanently end conflict with Hamas, allowing them to maintain control and power

Terrorist V for Victory

Important Takeaways:

  • Although the agreement may put an end to the current conflict between Israel and Hamas, it does not, in any way, reflect a shift in the radical and dangerous ideology of the Islamist group, as outlined in its 1988 Covenant. The document quotes Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood organization (of which Hamas is an offshoot), as saying: “Israel will arise and continue to exist until Islam abolishes it, as it abolished what went before.”
  • The main points of the Hamas Covenant state:
    • The Palestinian issue is a religious-political Muslim problem, and the conflict with Israel is between Muslims and the Jewish “infidels.”
    • All Palestine is Muslim land and no one has the right to give it up.
    • An uncompromising Jihad must be waged against Israel, and any agreement recognizing its right to exist must be totally opposed.
  • The ceasefire-hostage deal does not require Hamas to disarm or cede control over the Gaza Strip…. The terrorist group seems to be convinced that the deal will enable it to keep control of the Gaza Strip and prepare for more massacres of Jews.
  • Shortly after the ceasefire-hostage deal was announced on January 15, Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya made it clear that his group intends to pursue its Jihad against Israel.
  • The new US administration, to avoid more violence and bloodshed, must insist that Hamas be removed from power.
  • This can only be accomplished by applying pressure and sanctions on Hamas’s Qatari and Iranian sponsors.
