Donald Trump’s Hamas Disarmament Plan Faces Skepticism Amid Ongoing Iran Conflict

U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new framework that would require Hamas to disarm, promoted by his self‑created Board of Peace and presented as a breakthrough toward lasting peace in the Middle East. The plan ties Hamas’s surrender to Israel’s fulfillment of cease‑fire commitments, but experts warn it is unlikely to succeed because of limited international participation and doubts from regional actors.

At the same time, Trump’s administration remains embroiled in a widening conflict with Iran. After a series of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets, the president warned of further attacks on Tehran and convened senior officials at Camp David, yet no clear shift in strategy was disclosed. The dual challenges highlight the administration’s constrained options in the region.
