Though, Hanson dismissed Hamas&#8217;s demand to be fully integrated into future Palestinian governance, accusing the group of maintaining a terror-driven agenda. He emphasized that Hamas must disarm, renounce its long-standing goal of eliminating Israel, and accept that Palestinians are moving forward without them.<\/p>\n<p>Hanson noted that the deadline set for Hamas to agree to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-israel-believes-ukraine-talks-at-critical-juncture-ceasefire-or-catastrophe\/\" title=\"Report: Israel Believes Ukraine Talks at Critical Juncture -- Ceasefire or Catastrophe\">ceasefire terms<\/a> remains in place, warning that the group is not negotiating in good faith and may face overwhelming military action if they fail to comply by Sunday evening. Trump has declared this deadline as Hamas&#8217;s &#8220;last chance&#8221; to avoid destruction. Meanwhile, Palestinians living under Hamas rule hope for a deal to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-pressures-hamas-strike-a-deal-or-face-retaliation\/\" title=\"... Pressures ...: Strike a Deal or ...

Hanson warns that unless Hamas acts seriously and abandons its militant agenda, the situation may deteriorate further.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Former U.S. Army Special Forces operator Jim Hanson said Friday on Fox Business that a statement from Hamas concealed &ldquo;poison pills&rdquo; that could derail any lasting peace effort.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hamas-moves-toward-peace-agrees-hostage-release-partial-backing-trumps-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamas<\/a> said it is prepared to hand over all remaining hostages and step aside under President Donald Trump&rsquo;s ceasefire plan, provided there is collective <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/looking-like-deal-gaza-trump-announces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">agreement<\/a> among Palestinian factions and approval from Arab and Islamic allies.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on &ldquo;The Evening Edit,&rdquo; Hanson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/articles\/fmr-us-army-special-forces-232649195.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called<\/a> the group&rsquo;s insistence on full integration into a future Palestinian governance framework a non-starter and accused Hamas of clinging to an agenda rooted in terror and fantasy.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There are definitely a couple of poison pills in the Hamas statement.
