Trump, Netanyahu Vow To Destroy Hamas if Peace Deal Is Rejected
In a joint press conference yesterday, President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised that Israel would destroy Hamas if it did not accept a peace deal.

From The Hill:
Trump on Monday released his 20-point plan for Gaza, which Netanyahu said he supported during a press conference following their Oval Office meeting.
Trump warned that if Hamas doesn’t also accept the peace plan, Netanyahu has his support to destroy the militant group.
“Israel would have my full backing to finish the job of destroying the threat of Hamas, but I hope that we’re going to have a deal for peace. And if Hamas rejects the deal, which is always possible… as you know, Bibi, you’d have our full backing to do what you would have to do,” Trump said.
The Hill also explained what’s in the President’s plan in a separate article:
The 20-point peace plan says that if Hamas refuses to accept the proposal, the plan can go ahead with Israel establishing “terror-free” areas to be handed over from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to a temporary, International Stabilization Force made up of Arab and international partners.
…
If Hamas accepts, the plan calls for Hamas to lay down its arms and renounce governance in the strip. Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence would be given amnesty to remain in Gaza, or they would be granted safe passage to receiving countries. Hamas will have no role in Gaza’s future governance.
This would not be the first time President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu have attempted to reach a peaceful agreement with Hamas. However, previous attempts were cut short by Hamas, as the group would back out of agreements at the last moment.
This press conference came just over a week before October 7. On that day two years ago, Hamas terrorists stormed across Israel’s border, killing over a thousand Jews and taking over 200 hostage. In the years since, Israel has waged war against Hamas and other terrorist groups. Throughout the conflict, Netanyahu has maintained he has two goals: recover the hostages and ensure that Hamas can never threaten Israel again.
It is unclear whether Hamas will accept this deal, but it would seem that, even if they decline, this war may soon come to a close regardless. Let’s thank God for giving us a President who boldly stands behind Israel, and let’s pray for His chosen nation as it wars against terror in the Middle East!

Father, I pray that Hamas will accept/sign the peace plan. If it’s your will for this to happen, I ask you to impress in his heart to sign the plan. Thank you Father.

Oh LORD God! You are Israel’s Defender! Please bring this war to an end!
In Jesus’ Name!
What do I think of the plan? By now it should be evident to a “blind” man that Hamas has “no intention” of complying. The Old Testament is full of the enemies of Israel that the Lord gave opportunities to and in the end…He had them removed permanently due to non-compliance on their part. The Lord said, “Is My righteous arm too short that I can not save?” Obvious answer is…NO!!!
I commend our President Trump & Prime Minister Netanyahu for orchestrating a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Gaza. Hamas needs to accept this plan or face a horrible end. This is their only option to life here.
I notice that the option of replying to people’s comments has been removed. Why? Higher up I observed someone stating that Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson are Christians. What did Jesus Say? By their fruits we will know them.
Both of these started the race well but they have now taken deep dives into antisemitism and that is NOT a fruit of Christianity. We are commanded to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and to realize that we were grafted in. We have NOT replaced the Jews and there is NO PLACE for replacement theology in a “Born Again” Christian. We must be Very Careful in the way we respond to these “Influencers” who have obviously taken a position contrary to the Word of God and Candace Owens in particular has taken it upon herself to impose herself into Charlie Kirk’s life as though she were his oracle which is the furthest thing from the Truth. Today I read an awesome letter that Charlie wrote to PM Benjamin Netanyahu in the Month of May and he could not have been MORE committed to the land of Israel and the Prime Minister than he was. Take the time to go to Israel 365 which in many ways is far better than most of our American publications and read that letter. You will be astounded to read what Charlie Kirk REALLY thought about Israel. When I read the constant barrage of attacks on Israel and the implications that they were responsible for taking Charlie’s life it sickens me and I know it sickens our Lord to. It needs to stop.
“I notice that the option of replying to people’s comments has been removed. Why?”
It has not….
I don’t think Hamas will keep this agreement. They hate Israel and want to see it destroyed. But God can work wonders if this is the time for peace. May President Trump have God’s wisdom in his decisions.
DEAR LORD GOD
PROTECT YOUR PEOPLE
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Please continue to support Israel ! Thank you for all you are doing ! Praying for you !
God Bless our President. He is none like no other. God has chosen him to do His work because no other president in the history of our nation could do it.
Amnesty for Hamas people won’t work. They do not keep their word and will hide their people in the area to try to wipe Israel off the map.
I don’t think hama will accept the peace plan and I am for erasing hamas, anywhere.
Ephesians 6: 10 through 19
Amen
YES! And A Hardy AMEN!!!
WHY are these national leaders trying to negotiate peace with a terrorist group? This is an exercise in futility, and lends a sense of legitimacy to Hamas. The ONLY thing that terrorists understand is total obliteration. WHEN will Pres. Trump and Bibi realize this, and take decisive action? If Hamas was willing to play fair, and truly negotiate a peace deal, it would have happened by now. It is time to blow Hamas off the face of the earth. An example needs to be set to slow down these terrorist groups. Lord Jesus, may Your will be done.
Taqiyya–the Islamic principle that promotes deception and lies to further the goal of establishing sharia and global Islamic dominance and the Treaty of al-Hudaybiya are pivotal to understanding political Islam.
Having lived and worked in Saudia Arabia, it has become apparent to me that in response to these commands to use deception for the advancement of Islam and the willingness (even obligation) of Muslim political leaders to violate treaties to further the establishment of sharia law and Islam, treaties are essentially meaningless. No agreement will be honored…unless it promotes Islamic dominance.
Yes, we need to pray that peace will come to the M.E. But real peace will be elusive until Jesus returns. Nevertheless, we pray that eyes will be open to see danger, minds will grasp who the real enemy is (Ephesians 6) and hearts will be turned to Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the only lasting answer. Maranatha–come Lord Jesus!
I have recently woken up to the reality that, just as America has been controlled by the Deep State, SO HAS ISRAEL. I love the Jewish people and I believe, as the Word says, that they will be grafted back in, but America does not realize we are being sucked into the enemy’s plans. Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and the young generation of Christians see this. I don’t trust Netanyahu any more. It is NOT anti-semitism, just as it was not anti-american to call out what our government was doing as evil. Pray for Trump and his military leaders to have Godly wisdom. They might see it but aren’t ready to make it public because most Christians would make an outcry.
If you truly want to be “woken,” watch some of the footage of the massacre of October 7th. I cannot and will never need to view the horror of that day to understand why Israel is fighting… for their lives. KNOW that I am an American who supports our government and I was very proud of our President and PM Netanyahu as they spoke yesterday about the peace plan the whole world has accepted and are waiting to see if Hamas will. If they do not, the Gazan’s have been advised and forewarned to leave as Hamas will be destroyed. I am a Christian who takes the LORD God Almighty’s Word as (holy) true, not any man or woman’s. Your comment triggered me as you can speak for no-one but yourself and yours is a false narrative.
Brian, fair question. The media and deceived leaders of other nations demand Israeli submission, etc.
But modern history shows such terrorists sworn to Israel’s destruction never accept peace terms except temporarily to rebuild strength to attack again.
But US and Israeli leaders are not naive or blind nor would either blindly surrender Israel.
Jesus spoke of being “shrewd” or clever as a serpent. I suspect, like a multi-dimensional chess game(if there be such) the Trump-Netanyahu chess team has somethin up their sleeve to either whip the Hamas-Iran team–or get their full surrender.
A cornered rattlesnake hisses and threatens when cornered and the farmer about to lop its head off.
Perhaps we best pray and commit all to the Lord who neither slumbers nor sleeps in protecting Israel. Of course, if those blinded by satan realize that their ideology won’t save them from their destruction–hopefully the fear of the Lord and the instinct for self-preservation would drive them to full surrender which would be least costly in lives for Israel and all concerned.
It’s happened many times in the Bible and even in modern Israeli history. (eg believe the Yom Kippur war when a young Israel faced almost certain destruction — and against all odds in an impossible tank battle, Egyptian forces turned and fled when they saw “giant soldiers fighting for you.” Angels of course.
Carla, I hear you and respect your views and your obvious love for Lord Jesus and Israel as I do.
If I might share a respectful alternative view as I believe per old wisdom about differences in Christian doctrine and issues.
Of course certain core beliefs are essential to our Christian faith. But I believe while nothing is unimportant, per old wisdom:
“in essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty and in all things charity”-or godly agape love.
So I understand the frustation with Tucker and Candace. But I strongly believe they are sincere believers who sadly have perhaps been misguided by some in the “replacement theology” camp and we need to pray for Jesus to help them.
Shortly after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, I saw video clips of Charlie and Tucker. Though Charlie of course, was a strong believer and lover of Israel, he and Tucker were best of friends and Tucker as I recall was actively involved in Charlie’s Turning Point movement.
And I understand the strong feelings of concern at the anti-Israel movement. Yet, I believe Charlie showed through maintaining bonds of Christ-like love and brotherhood and friendship even with believers with whom we disagree on some issues, we keep the door open over time for dialog and changing minds.
Not faulting or trying to change your sincere and deep felt concerns. Just some “food to consider.”
God bless, shalom to Israel!
I don’t believe that Hamas will accept this plan,. Offer more than 2,000 convicted criminals terrorist in exchange for innocent hostages is giving Hamas more power to attack Israel again. This plan do not give Israel any protection, seems that it’s caving to the countries that want a palestine state.
I like it. It seems to be a wonderful win for most. Hamas must be stopped and rendered powerless to ever commit the atrocities that it has been known for. Father, please continue to give wisdom to our President as he and Netanyahu work together to bring home the remaining hostages and end this horrible war.
Father, God, thank you for your goodness. Thank you for your Righteousness. Thank you for your peace and your love and your wisdom, Lord. I lift up President Trump to you and ask that he is given the wisdom and guidance by the Holy Spirit in the mighty name of Jesus. That he is led by a spirit of discernment in the name of Jesus. That he leans into your leadership and guidance on every decision in the mighty name of Jesus. That will preserve life that will promote peace in the mighty. I ask you to expose those around him that have any ungodly evil intentions in the name of Jesus. I cancel every spirit of greed. I cancel every spirit of deception. I cancel every spirit of murder and war, contention and strife, in the mighty name of Jesus and I ask you, Lord in a mighty name of Jesus, to send your angels and let everything be revealed. Everything that is hidden in darkness. Things that we don’t know, and peoples that are not true friends of America, let it be revealed in the media in the news and over all air waves so that every person is aware. Let wickedness done in the dark be revealed publicly in the mighty name of Jesus. Reveal who was responsible for the Charlie Kirk assassination over all the airwaves and expose all of the work the enemy by the power of Jesus name. Lord and put your hedge protection around President Trump and his family. Lord, help him to keep America first in all negotiations in the name of Jesus. And we thank you, Father, that you expose the truth on every level. Amen.

Lord, on October 7, unspeakable evil was unleashed—over a thousand Jews murdered, countless more taken hostage, terror celebrated in the streets. We bring this before You, remembering Your Word: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12). And You have commanded us to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” (Psalm 122:6). So we lift our voices in obedience, crying out for peace that only You can bring.
Father, we acknowledge that Hamas is not merely political—it is a satanically energized militant group rooted in falsehood and destruction energized and motivated by the prince of the power of the air. Your Word says, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers” (Ephesians 6:12). Just as You commanded Israel to stand against the Amalekites and other enemies of Your covenant people, we ask You now to dismantle this evil once for all and cut off its strength.
We thank You for persuading leaders of nations—including our president—to align with Prime Minister Netanyahu in defense of Israel according to the proposed 20 point plan but, most of all, your plan. Thank you for convicting all leaders involved, O Lord, with courage and wisdom to do the right thing. Teach them meekness—the power to keep the sword in its sheath until the moment it must be wielded for justice. Give everyone involved great wisdom from the King eternal and ONLY wise God.
May Your Mercy triumph over judgment!
Lord, protect the innocent—women, children, and peace-loving men in Gaza who despise Hamas’ tyranny but lack the means to resist. As Psalm 91 declares, “We will not fear the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day.” Place a supernatural shield around the hostages hidden in tunnels and the innocent bystanders who resist the devil and those who are his cohorts- both in flesh and spirit. Guard them from being used as human shields, and let angels encamp around them.
We ask You to visit the leaders of Hamas with the same humbling You gave to Nebuchadnezzar, when You turned his mind to that of a beast until he acknowledged that You alone are God. Give dreams and visions to the young men radicalized by political and false religion propaganda—break through their deception with Your Spirit, as Joel 2 promises. May they turn from the power of Satan to the light of Christ.
Father, we cry out for justice. Annihilate the terror networks of Hamas. Let October 7 be redeemed as a day not only of horror but a turning point of deliverance and victory over evil. And yet, Lord, we remember Your heart: You desire that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4). While we plead for justice, we also beg for mercy. Redeem, restore, and protect. We apply the precious blood of Jesus over every soul in this conflict—Jew and Arab alike. Let God be true, and every man a liar (Romans 3:4).
So we pray: Father, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Protect the innocent. Deliver the captives from evil. Break the back of terror. Guide the leaders of nations. Redeem October 7 as a day of peace through justice. Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy.
In the matchless name of Jesus!
Amen.
Amen, Phil, well stated.
Amen Phil.
Blessings of righteousness and peace for Gaza. I do not like that there will be other Arab nations watching over Gaza in any way. May Gaza be returned to its rightful place as part of Israel and may Israel be the nation who reclaims Gaza as their own. I’m praying that the Lord establish Israel’s borders. And that Israel never have to give any land to any other nation.
Lord, I thank you that I have been grafted in and now receive all the blessings and promises that were given to Your chosen people. They have not been replaced but are just waiting for the fullness of the gentiles. Because they’re the apple of your eye, my heart is for them and I pray for them. Give divine wisdom, understanding and strategy and let nothing.
But your plan for Israel be accomplished. i feel like this plan is taking the Gaza strip from Israel which was given to the Jewish people in the Old Testament. i definitely don’t have a full understanding of the plan.So again , I pray that nothing less than your plan be accomplished for Israel.
O Lord save lives.Turn the hearts of stone to hearts of flesh that they may receive and obey your commands. Your kingdom come and your will be done in Israel. i pray for the peace of Jerusalem and all of Israel. Amen
Great Spirit, God, Creator of all, we thank you for leaders who bring peace to our nations and our world, to encourage each man and woman to be sovereign and prosperous. There shall be Peace on
Earth 🕊️ Hallelujah; Aho.
– I thank our leaders that Hamas shall be given the opportunity to surrender, return to honor; and face justice which shall restore peace. Peace 🕊️ shall come swiftly to Hamas with justice fury precision to all foreign and domestic terrorists alike.🚦
It’s about time. American cannot wait on the UN for Peace
I agree his the plan of our President. I also believe that Hamas must be destroyed once and for all, never able to rise up again! I pray that both the United States leadership and the leadership of Israel will follow only the instruction of Almighty God. In Jesus name. Amen.
Father God, in the Mighty name of Your Sn Jesus, and the Power of the Holy Spirit in President Trump,
and Prime Minister Netanyahu, may they hear the voice of the Lord to do what is right in Your eyes Father. Israel Your people have been mascared for many years and we as that Your people be saved by Your wisdom in our leaders. We stand in Prayer for Isreal and believe that the enemy will be taken out as You guide, wheather it be by angel armies or Your directions from Presidint Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu. Your perfect will Father be done in Your Son Jesus name.
God will sooner or later keep His promises as to what land He gave to Israel.
Terrorists must be treated as such. If one little New Zealander is praying for the peace and prosperity of Israel and Jerusalem how many does God have worldwide, praying ?? “And so ALL Israel shall be saved.” God is working towards victory and vindication.
Jesus woke me up at 3am CT tonight. I was led to get on email after praying in tongues and weeping in Spirit for Charlie Kirk’s family. Then I saw the news Trump had realeased his peace plan. WHOA! A mentor of mine a couple days ago said- there was some talk, but not for sure that Trump had a plan he would release soon. So powerful to get the news and be able to pray into it in the middle of the night.
God bless you IFA. I just joined this summer.
It is time for Trump to have discernment concerning Israel. We are commanded to pray for the peace of Israel, not just totally agree with all that they do. Just because Israel says or does something make it the gospel. Israel has just as many bad actors as the USA. I pray Trump be filled with the Holy Spirit and have discernment of the bad actors whoever they may be, even if it includes BiBi.
Amen!!!! My spirit has been very troubled over this for months now. Jesus we pray our President is not run by the fear of man, but the fear of the Lord. For it is written “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” Prov. 9:10 I bind you satan from trying to run the USA through any foregin influence in the name of Jesus. Let us support Israel but not be run by them. In Jesus name AMEN!
Amen. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for the salvation of all of these unbelievers involved both in Gaza and in Israel. I pray that they’d all come to know Jesus and accept him as their Lord and Savior. I pray that there would be accountability for both sides. I pray there would be accountability for Israelis who are swift to shed innocent blood same as Palestinians. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem. amen
Yes, on the surface it does stir questions and concerns. But I don’t believe President Trump after doing so much for Israel nor PM Netanyahu would be so naive as to sign terms endangering Israel’s security.
I think we must realize that in diplomacy like military battles, sometimes the “good guys” like the bad actors will use certain “smart strategies” whether to advance the good or.the bad.
We don’t know.
But Jesus does command us to “pray for those in authority.” And Jesus has given us incredible promises to engage in spiritual warfare and prayer to enforce the Victory He already won on the Cross.
EG many promises for God’s protection. Many powerful and invincible Heavenly weapons like the Name of Jesua, the Blood of Christ, the gift of Faith, the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit, the word of God including over 7000 promises etc.
Father God, thank you that our president stands with Israel and against all terrorist groups and organizations. May Israel win every battle against barbaric terrorism. Lord God, bless Israel with peace. You are the Prince of Peace. Save Israel for your own Glory. Amen.
I would like to think that I’m a peace loving man that being said I believe in the Lord and I believe in Israel I’ve been in America all my life I was born and raised here I’m 70 years old and I think president Trump is completely right in backing Israel and Benjamin netanyahu and heis fight against Hamas. these terrorists have to be done away with whether it’s Hamas or any of the other ones our planet is so overcrowded with people that these terrorists kill dozens every time they do something and it just cannot be allowed whether it’s one person or 50 people they should not be allowed to take life anywhere from anyone!
let’s see how Hamas likes it when the same is returned upon them?
I completely believe in supporting Israel. I know it is biblical – the land is blessed, the people are chosen. We in Christ are chosen too, but it’s still a little different with them. I have restudied Romans 9-11 this summer and I am sure of that. They were taken off the tree, so the Gentiles could be joined to the tree, and they will be grafted back in before Jesus’ return.
So, are the reports that Israel is not letting Gazan refugees eat etc all lies? Or, that Israel is trying to take over much more land? The man that was part of a relief group from maybe May to July was on Tucker Carlson this summer. I will post the link if I find it, but I can’t. And, he had a convincing story about Israel preventing refugees in the strip from getting food and water etc.
I know the enemy always uses some truth mixed in with lies and that he could be using this to turn more of world against Israel.
But still, something feels really wrong to me.
AND I completely believe in supporting Israel. I know it is biblical – the land is blessed, the people are chosen. They were taken off the tree, so the Gentiles could be joined to the tree, and they will be grafted back in before Jesus’ return.
I listen to CBN news as they are feet on the ground there with news from their own people. They report that the Hamas are the ones starving the people by intercepting the trucks bringing aid and fake news reporting wrong just like USA. Israel should never have been coerced into giving land for peace all these years ago and neither should they have to do it again in any way. It would be like USA giving one of our states to China etc for peace. Just invite the enemy in and expect him to behave in a righteous way? I’m still praying for the lord to establish Israel’s borders. ❤️🔥🙏❤️🔥
