In this Gatestone Institute article, Khaled Abu Toameh warns that President Trump’s reported Iran deal has already emboldened Hamas, which is now openly calling for escalated attacks on Israel and shifting its jihad from Gaza to the West Bank.
- Hamas officials are praising recent shooting and car-ramming attacks as “heroic,” urging Palestinians in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and inside Israel to intensify “all forms of resistance.”
- The terror group interprets the U.S.-Iran agreement as a sign of American weakness and victory for the regime it serves, signaling that Washington is eager to end conflicts at any price.
- Unlike Gaza, the mountainous West Bank offers high ground overlooking Israel’s densely populated coastal plain, major cities, Ben-Gurion Airport, and critical infrastructure — ideal for expanded terror operations.
- Hamas remains in power in Gaza, rejecting disarmament, recruiting fighters, and retaining military capabilities more than six months after Trump’s ceasefire and “Riviera of the Middle East” promises.
- The deal fails to address Iran’s proxy network including Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis, viewed by terrorists as a green light to escalate amid perceived U.S.-Israel friction.
- Iran’s billions in expected sanctions relief will likely flow to its terror proxies rather than peace, as the regime and groups like Hamas play the long game of strategic patience.
- Diplomatic arrangements have repeatedly failed to curb jihadist ideology or Iran’s determination to destroy Israel through its Axis of Resistance.
