“It
may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.”
―
Henry Kissinger
History has proven these words
true time and time again — and today, they echo louder than ever in the
so-called peace deal brokered by Donald Trump between Hamas and Israel. While
the world celebrates this agreement as a breakthrough, the Muslim Ummah must
see it for what it truly is: another political trap wrapped in the name of
peace.
Behind the smiles and handshakes
lies a plan that serves American and Israeli interests while weakening the very
cause Muslims have struggled for over 78 years. This deal, instead of bringing
justice, risks rewriting history in favor of the oppressor and turning decades
of Muslim resistance into a forgotten story. In short, what the world sees as a
“Trump’s Peace” is basically the “Muslim Ummah’s Defeat.”

1. Trump’s Peace Deal: Crafted to Protect Israel, Not to Solve the Conflict
The recent deal between Israel and Hamas, brokered under Donald Trump, has been portrayed by many as a turning point, but a closer look at the deal shows that it is heavily skewed in favor of Israel. This deal has built-in loopholes and weak guarantees that make war ready to resume, enable Israel to escape accountability for past actions, and risk leaving Palestinians still suffering without justice. Below is a critical analysis of the main points of the deal, followed by a discussion on why this peace cannot be expected to hold long and how Israel benefits massively from its terms.
2. What the Deal Says: Key Provisions
The deal includes the following major points:
2.1 Ceasefire & Hostage Release
A “first phase” ceasefire is to be implemented: hostilities stop, Israeli forces withdraw from certain densely populated areas.
Hamas is to release Israeli hostages (both living and deceased) in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, including a large number who have been held since the October 7, 2023 attack.
2.2 Withdrawal of Israeli Forces (Phased / Partial)
Israel agrees to withdraw from some urban/populated areas.
However, certain “buffer zones” or border/perimeter areas, such as along the Philadelphi corridor between Gaza and Egypt, are to remain under Israeli military or security oversight in the early phases.
2.3 Humanitarian Aid and Reconstruction
2.4 Governance & Oversight
There is a provision for an interim, transitional governance structure: possibly a technocratic or apolitical Palestinian committee, with international oversight (sometimes called the “Board of Peace” or similar). Hamas is to be excluded from governance roles.
Demilitarization or disarmament of Hamas is a requirement, or at least strongly desired by Israel & US.
2.5 Prisoner Exchanges / Amnesty
Israel will release many Palestinian prisoners, including those held since Oct 7, women, children, etc.
Some Hamas members who agree to peaceful coexistence or disarm may be given safe passage or amnesty.
2.6 Undefined Aspects / Ambiguities
No clear timetable in many reports for complete withdrawal of Israeli forces.
Unclear mechanisms for enforcement, oversight, and what happens if one side fails to fulfill obligations.
Definition of what “terror infrastructure,” “security zones,” “buffer zones,” etc., precisely mean is often vague.
The role (if any) of Hamas after the deal is unclear and possibly restricted heavily.
3. Why This Deal Favors Israel
Given those terms, here’s how the deal appears to work in Israel’s advantage, and exposes why peace is fragile.
3.1 Israel retains substantial control even during the “withdrawal”
Because the deal allows Israel to keep forces in border zones or buffer areas, Israel effectively maintains leverage. It can claim that any incursion or fight is occurring outside its remaining controlled zones, triggering Israel’s right (in their view) to resume operations.
3.2 Ambiguous Terms = Leverage to Avoid Commitments
Vague language (no precise deadlines, undefined buffer zones, loosely defined demilitarization) gives Israel room to interpret terms in ways favorable to itself. If a requirement says “withdrawal from populated areas,” Israel can claim certain places aren’t “populated” or “universally recognized as such,” or that security concerns justify delay.
3.3 Dependency on Hostage Release as a Key Trigger
Many of the deal’s commitments depend on Hamas releasing hostages (alive or dead). This gives Israel the option to delay its own obligations (withdrawals, governance transitions, demilitarization) until Hamas performs. If hostages aren’t released on Israel’s schedule or in full, Israel can claim breach and revert to military action.
3.4 Governance & Demilitarization Built for Israeli Interests
Excluding Hamas from governance, requiring complete disarmament, oversight by external bodies, etc., all ensure that Israel’s security concerns remain prioritized. It shifts power to entities (international oversight, technocrats) more aligned or controllable by Israel and its allies. Even reconstruction and aid may come with oversight that limits Palestinian autonomy.
3.5 No Strong Legal / Binding Guarantees
From the reports, there is little indication of strong enforcement mechanisms (e.g. international legal penalties, binding arbitration) if Israel violates terms. In contrast, non-compliance by Hamas or delays are easier to blame on security or obligation failures. This asymmetry tends to benefit Israel more than Hamas.
3.6 Allows Israel to Define Violation, Restart War
Because many obligations are conditional (hostage release, demilitarization), Israel can claim that Hamas violated the deal and thereby resume hostilities. Also the provisions that allow Israel to maintain certain military zones means they can use “security breach” as justification.
4. Why the Deal Is Unlikely to Last — Loopholes in Favor of Israel
Putting together the above, the following are reasons this peace will probably not endure.
Conditional Triggers & Loopholes: From the start, key deliverables are conditional (e.g. hostages, prisoner release). If any one condition isn’t met to Israel’s satisfaction, it gives Israel a legal or political excuse to walk away or resume war.
Unclear Timelines: Without strict deadlines, Israel can delay withdrawals and other obligations indefinitely under various pretexts: security, intelligence, threats. Even a phased withdrawal is negotiable and reversible under some conditions.
Weak Oversight / International Pressure: If oversight and international bodies are weak, corrupt, or aligned with U.S./Israeli perspectives, which obviously the case is, violations may go unpunished. Israel has more diplomatic power, better international ties, and legal/P.R. capacity to deflect criticism.
Shifting Politics and Pressure: Israeli domestic politics (right-wing parties, security hawks), changes in U.S. administration or policy, or regional crises can shift priorities away from implementing the deal. This might lead Israel to pause or abandon commitments.
Precedents of Ceasefire Violations by Israel: Historical precedent is strong: previous ceasefire deals collapsed, often because Israel kept some control over borders, reprisals, or continued military operations under certain labels. Palestinians and Hamas have less capacity to retaliate or to enforce terms.
America’s Precedent of Breaking International Deals: Another reason this deal may not last is America’s own habit of walking away from international agreements — especially under Donald Trump. He withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA), the Paris Climate Agreement, and UNESCO, each time claiming the deals were “unfair.” This history shows that U.S. promises are temporary and can change with political interests. If the same happens here, America can easily step back and leave Israel free to restart war under the excuse of “security,” making this deal fragile and unreliable from the very start.
A Loophole That Could Restart the War: One of the biggest risks in this deal is the vague condition that peace will last only if Gaza remains “demilitarized” and free of “offensive weapons.” While the deal doesn’t openly say Israel can attack again, this unclear language gives it space to interpret any activity in Gaza as “weaponization.” Given Israel’s history of using such claims to justify military actions, this clause becomes a hidden loophole. Even minor reconstruction or movement within Gaza could be labeled a “security threat,” allowing Israel to restart strikes under the excuse of self-defense. In reality, this means the ceasefire is fragile — it is not true peace, but a temporary pause that Israel can end whenever it chooses.
5. How This Deal Shields Israel from Accountability and Justice
This deal can forgive or at least reduce pressure for Israel’s past military crimes or alleged genocide in several ways:
3. Reparations, justice, legal claims are not central in this deal from available reports. There are not any type of clauses for retrospective accountability or independent investigations.
Meanwhile a clear chit has been
given to Israel for its war crimes and genocide, while setting a dangerous
precedent that powerful nations can rewrite justice to protect their allies. Through
this deal, Israel walks free, and the victims are forgotten. In short, this
deal doesn’t bring justice — it buries it.
6. Conclusion: The Deal Isn’t the End, It’s a Pause — Possibly a Dangerous One
The October 2025 deal may have
paused immediate bloodshed and may bring temporary relief; it is not yet the
end of war. Because of the ambiguous wording, conditional triggers, and
Israel’s greater leverage in almost every part of the deal, this deal is more
likely to benefit Israel’s interests than to deliver lasting peace for the
people of Gaza. Peace without justice is no peace in any sense and this
deal gives Israel access to normality and possibly to escape real
accountability, while Palestinians continue to carry a burden of destruction,
loss, and unrecognized rights.
