Security analyst Yair Goldblatt argues that the reported Hamas disarmament deal is superficially beneficial but fails to address the terror group's enduring ideology and ambition to destroy Israel. In a post on X, Goldblatt warned that Hamas will likely rearm during a lull and that the future governing body in Gaza will remain Islamist and hostile.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt published a critical assessment of the reported Hamas disarmament deal on Friday, warning that the agreement fails to neutralize the terror group's ideological threat.
Writing on X, Goldblatt acknowledged that the deal appears beneficial on its face—including full disarmament. However, he raised two concerns: Hamas will likely exploit a lull to rearm, and the future governing body in Gaza will remain Islamist and hostile to Israel. He concluded that Hamas's ideology, expressed in its desire to destroy Israel, is unlikely to change.
The analysis comes amid reports that Hamas has agreed to all clauses of Trump's Gaza plan, as The Zioneer reported on July 30. A formal announcement is pending Israel's consent. The Zioneer also reported on July 30 that the proposed deal would halt Israeli targeted killings of Hamas terrorists while allowing the group to prepare for future conflict—a dynamic Goldblatt's analysis highlights.
