Hamas’s response: Strategic maturity in politics

Hamas’s reaction to Trump’s so-called “peace plan” showed that the resistance not only commands the battlefield but also enjoys strategic maturity in the political arena. By setting clear red lines—an end to aggression, the release of prisoners, and the reconstruction of Gaza under Palestinian management—Hamas sent a clear message: the decision-making power rests with the Palestinian nation itself.

This response marked the resistance’s entry into a new stage of operational intelligence, where the blood of martyrs has become a source of political legitimacy, and every decision finds meaning within the framework of the Palestinian people’s historical rights. In fact, with this stance, Hamas shifted the balance of power from the military front to the diplomatic table—without sacrificing the spirit of resistance.

Trump and the Nobel dream: Peace as a propaganda tool

Washington’s renewed effort to propose a peace plan stems less from humanitarian concern than from battlefield pressure and Israel’s military failures. Trump, caught in his own political rivalries, seeks to turn the Gaza crisis into a promotional bridge for his global comeback—and perhaps even a bid for the Nobel Peace Prize.

However, any peace built on occupation, blockade, and the denial of the Palestinian people’s will is doomed from the outset. The resistance has wisely recognized this and, by maintaining its independence, has prevented the U.S. plan from becoming a propaganda tool for a politician’s ambitions.

Netanyahu in a political and battlefield deadlock

The Israeli Prime Minister, who believed U.S. backing would allow him to bring Hamas to its knees, now faces a reality beyond his control.

Domestic pressure, cabinet divisions, and military fatigue have cornered Netanyahu, leaving him with only one viable option: accepting a conditional ceasefire and entering indirect negotiations with the resistance.

The longer the battle has continued, the stronger Hamas’s bargaining position has become. Today, it is Hamas—not the Israeli regime—that defines the terms for ending the war.

This situation marks a clear collapse of the “absolute security” doctrine of Israel—a doctrine that formed the backbone of Zionist strategy for decades but now lies in ruins before the reality of resistance.

The axis of resistance: From reaction to strategic management

Recent developments have shown that the Axis of Resistance has moved beyond mere reaction, entering a stage of crisis management and solution-building.

Hamas’s position naturally aligns with the broader vision of the resistance front: insisting on the historical rights of Palestinians, the return of refugees, the lifting of the Gaza blockade, and the end of occupation.

The resistance now stands at a point where it not only maintains military balance but also secures political legitimacy in global public opinion.

Under these circumstances, any attempt to impose peace from above—without genuine Palestinian consent—is doomed to fail. The Axis of Resistance has demonstrated its ability to steer both the battlefield and diplomacy simultaneously—and that is precisely what the U.S. and Israel fear most.

Hamas’s response to Trump’s plan marks a turning point in the history of resistance. For the first time, political maneuvering amid warfare has become a tool serving the Palestinian people’s interests.

Trump seeks a Nobel Peace Prize, Netanyahu struggles to escape domestic turmoil, and the resistance continues to consolidate its achievements.

What is unfolding in Gaza today is not merely a military confrontation—it is a battle over the very definition of the region’s future, and the signs of victory for the resistance are already becoming clear.
