It is merely a ceasefire. Full implementation "Trump Plan" is contingent on Hamas agreeing to disarm and relinquish power in Gaza. To quote Wayne's World, that will happen when monkeys fly out of my butt. As we speak, Hamas is battling other militias who are trying to use the partial withdrawal of IDF to their own advantage.

Don't fall for Trump's grand claims. The road to any lasting peace will be long and difficult.
