In this video, we break down the real reason Hamas just sabotaged the hostage-ceasefire deal—and why it actually makes strategic sense from their perspective. President Trump’s blunt reaction—”I think they want to die”—captures the frustration many feel, but beneath the chaos is a chillingly rational plan. We analyze Hamas’s demand to dismantle the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, an American-Israeli effort feeding over 2 million Gazans daily without going through Hamas’s hands—and explain why that’s an existential threat to their power.

But there’s more. Hamas isn’t just playing for aid control—they’re playing the long game. With Israel’s Netanyahu-led coalition hanging by a thread due to explosive domestic politics, including the ultra-Orthodox draft law crisis, Hamas believes time is on their side. Add to that their global propaganda push about a so-called “famine”—despite mountains of undistributed aid—and you’ve got a three-pronged psychological and political war. Watch until the end to understand why Hamas is stalling and what it could mean for the future of the region.
