Hamas is apparently feeling the pressure from all sides and is now considering options that would allow them to rebuild both their economy and terror infrastructure unhindered.
Arab media reported on Monday evening that Hamas is considering adopting a Qatar ceasefire proposal, with Turkey’s approval, for a 5-year truce with Israel. According to the proposal, Hamas gets an offshore floating seaport for Gaza, in exchange for the ceasefire.
A senior Hamas terrorist, Musa Abu Marzouk, is in Qatar talking with international mediators about the idea.
In March, Abu Marzouk rejected the idea.
The floating seaport would be run by Israel and an unnamed third party, and in exchange there would be a 5-year ceasefire with the option for an extension.
Hamas may be worried about the advances being made by the Salafist ISIS/Gaza terror group who are making Hamas look bad internally, as well as the self-imposed poor economic condition resulting from Gaza not giving up on terrorism. Israel also holds Hamas accountable for all the breakaway terror group within Gaza.
While Hamas is considering the Qatar deal that Turkey approves, there’s no indication that Israel has any part of it.
