3 / 3 The world needs to build Tony Blair @InstituteGCโs Gaza Int'l Transitional Authority and its security force. If Hamas lays down weapons, good. If not, #GITA and the ISF should get ready to deploy to the parts of Gaza free of Hamas, and begin Gazaโs physical and social reconstruction.

2 / 3 Signs are Hamas wants to keep the weapons. But the world is calling on Hamas to disarm. There is no prospect that Arab governments will contribute to Gazaโs reconstruction if Hamas can re-take power, and then attack Israel, then Israel will destroy whatever was rebuilt.

1 / 3 On Ash-Sharq/Bloomberg, Al-Qahera, and Al-Jazeera today talking about the Gaza peace deal. Worth celebrating for all those who want to see a lasting peace. But (1) will Hamas agree to lay down its weapons? (2) Will countries agree to contribute peacekeeping troops?

Second question: Will Hamas agree to lay down its weapons? If not, Israel will say Hamas rejects @realDonaldTrump's plan.
It baffles me why some think the pressure Monday will be on Israel. It will be on Hamas.

6/6 There are many issues that could hold up peace. Hamas made no mention of laying down its arms, for example. But if this misunderstanding over sequencing is not clarified quickly, it could derail progress towards Trumpโs peace deal, which, as Trump said, is the best available deal for peace.

5/6 I said that Qatar, Egypt, and Tรผrkiye mediators should seek immediate clarification whether Hamas agrees to the sequencing President Trump has in mind. We have two days until Trumpโs deadline of Sunday 6 pm EDT.

4/6 Looking at the tone of Hamasโs response, itโs clear they were trying to be respectful to President Trump. And his response to Hamas reciprocates this respect.

3/6 The problem is this is not the only possible interpretation of Hamasโs response. Hamas could have intended the hostages be released only after other steps, like a Palestinian conference, that will take weeks, or the withdrawal of Israeli troops, which is not the sequence Trump has in mind.

2/6 President Trump read into Hamasโs response that the hostages should be freed in a matter of days. He told PM Netanyahu to stop the bombing of Gaza so the hostages could be safely moved from the tunnels to positions where they can be returned to their families.

3/3 As President Trump tries to work a peace plan for Gaza with Israeli, Arab, European, and other world leaders, I would respectfully urge this is not a good time for lower-ranking officials to undercut the Presidentโs Gaza peace initiative.

2/3 Arab leaders will then need to alert President Trump, e.g., by having the Qatari Prime Minister contact Steve Witkoff, or Saudi Crown Prince calling Jared Kushner, or UAE Amb. al-Otaiba calling Secretary Rubio. President Trump will not like it if ministers undercut him.

1/3 On Al-Jazeera Thursday talking about the West Bank. Now that President Trump has said no West Bank annexation, here's what concerns me: Trump emphasizes no annexation to PM Netanyahu on Monday. But when Netanyahu goes home, some Israeli ministers may try small steps to undercut Trumpโs position.

On Al-Jazeera tonight, saying that @realDonaldTrump will ensure Qatari PM Mohammed Abdulrahman Al Thani hears tonight the depth of the US commitment to Qatar's security.
