YES.
It's less important whether Hamas has really agreed to disarm and give up power than whether Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar have agreed that Hamas must disarm and give up power. Terrorist movements like Hamas facing much stronger enemies like Israel can't survive without outside...

A TRILLION HERE AND A TRILLION THERE…: JPMorgan Chase launches 1ドル.5 trillion plan to bolster US economic and national security. “The effort — dubbed the ‘Security and Resiliency Initiative’ — will direct 1ドル.5 trillion toward projects spanning energy, manufacturing and defense. As part of the plan, the financial giant will invest up to 10ドル billion in direct equity and venture capital to help select U.S.-based companies ‘enhance their growth, spur innovation and accelerate strategic manufacturing,’ the company said.”
Even JPMorgan Chase is on board with making America great again.
WHY THE DEMOCRATS’ ACTIVIST CLASS COULDN’T CELEBRATE THE CEASE-FIRE THEY DEMANDED:
Way back on October 11, 2023, New York City Council Member Tiffany Cabán called for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. Now, at that point, Hamas had just massacred civilians in 21 communities, killing 1,195 people including 38 children. The Israel Defense Force had barely begun its retaliation for the atrocity, but the answer in the mind of Cabán was clear: Everyone should stop shooting and accept a permanent cease-fire. To some of us, this sounded like allowing Hamas to get a free shot at Israelis and then preventing the Israelis from hitting Hamas back.
Two days later, on October 13, a then-little known state senator by the name of Zohran Mamdani joined the call for a cease-fire: "Now is the moment for all people of conscience to call for a ceasefire and no more military funding." The same day, another Democratic socialist state senator, Julia Salazar concurred: "A ceasefire is urgent. Please implore your federal elected officials to take every action they can to stop this from continuing."
On October 28, 2023, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined her call. "Some may dismiss a ceasefire as naïve or worse. Yet who has a plan for what follows this destruction? What do we call that?"
Mamdani offered a statement on Twitter yesterday that declared "Today’s scenes of Israelis and Palestinians are profoundly moving" but also said that "we have watched as our tax dollars have funded a genocide." At least Mamdani acknowledged that the cease-fire occurred.
Genocide, huh? Hamas carries out public executions — just hours after peace treaty signing.
Hamas carried out mass public executions in Gaza on Monday, gruesome video shows — as the bloodthirsty terror group desperately seeks to maintain control over the Palestinian enclave and punish those it deems "collaborators with Israel."
The barbaric reprisal came just hours after President Trump declared the "end of an age of terror and death" and signed a document enshrining his 20-point peace plan.
The graphic footage shows eight badly beaten, blindfolded men kneeling in the street before each is shot dead by Hamas gunmen in front of a cheering crowd.
The terror group said, without providing evidence, that the killings targeted "criminals and collaborators with Israel," the BBC reported.
The images currently being released by Hamas look awfully genocide-adjacent:
Crazy how the IDF was allegedly committing a "genocide" in Gaza and yet the only photos of public executions are the ones that are emerging right now as Israel has withdrawn https://t.co/vLkU0pKQNr

It’s not easy being trapped in the bubble:
In case you're wondering why it is that so many on the left seem to have no idea what's going on, here's a good explanation. They have a pretty big bubble problem and as their party has gotten older, they've become the leftwing equivalent of the "Fox News Dad" they used to hate https://t.co/aIn96NeT5e
