from Our Middle East: An Insider's View · host JNS Podcasts
Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh expose Hamas’s strategic manipulation of the Trump ceasefire plan.

The conversation reveals Hamas's true intent: to maintain power, avoid disarmament and ultimately destroy Israel using diplomatic deception and international legitimacy. This is not peace, it’s what they call “Stage Two Jihad.”
