Should military action be considered if the peace plan is rejected by Hamas?
The plan has drawn global attention, but its success is uncertain because it is unclear if Hamas will agree to the terms. Trump has said that a careful, step-by-step approach is needed to bring stability to the region. Trump and Netanyahu have also warned of unilateral military action against Hamas if the plan is rejected.
