US Senator Lindsey Graham has voiced strong criticism of President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan for Gaza, arguing that it could inadvertently strengthen Hamas rather than weaken it. Graham, echoing concerns raised by King Abdullah of Jordan, called the idea of an international force disarming Hamas 'unrealistic' and warned that every day under the current approach allows Hamas to grow more powerful. He emphasized that Israel cannot accept a situation where Hamas consolidates its control and suggested that further Israeli military action may be necessary. The Trump administration's plan includes a call for Hamas to disarm and for a multinational force to assist Palestinian police, but both Jordan and Egypt have expressed reservations about deploying foreign troops for active combat in Gaza.
