Trump Board of Peace getting impatient with Hamas

President Trump’s Board of Peace, which was established in mid-January with the prime objective to bring peace to the Middle East, is getting impatient as Hamas terrorists refuse to lay down their weapons. The New York Times cited four diplomats who said the board is demanding that Hamas finalize an agreement that concerns the demilitarization of Gaza by the end of this week. The lagging negotiations prove once more that Hamas isn’t interested in an autonomous Gaza if it can’t be used to launch attacks on Israel. The board demands that Hamas not only lay down all its weapons but also provide maps of its underground tunnel network that have been used to hide terrorists and hostages. The agreement in turn offers the withdrawal of Israeli troops, lifting of Israeli restrictions on imports of goods into Gaza, and amnesty for terrorists. Hamas terrorists have proved their willingness to sacrifice their own lives and the lives of human shields, hostages, Israeli troops and Israeli civilians to further their cause of terrorizing Israel, so pressure from the Board of Peace is unlikely to prove decisive. It fails to comprehend the evil it is up against.
