Gen. Jack Keane: Putin's Actions Contradict Peace Claims, Hamas Reneges on Deal

Putin's Rhetoric vs. Actions

• 💡 General Jack Keane analyzes President Trump's calls with President Putin regarding Ukraine, noting that while Putin may seem sincere in conversations, his actions consistently contradict his rhetoric.
• ⚠️ Putin is accused of using negotiations as a stalling mechanism to continue the war, wear down European and American support, and eventually achieve his objectives through concessions.
• 🚀 The example of the Alaska summit is cited, where a planned meeting between Putin, Zelenskyy, and Trump was denied by Russia within 24 hours, derailing potential progress.

Hamas and the Peace Deal

• 🎯 General Keane details how Hamas has reneged on key aspects of the peace pact with Israel.
• 🤝 Specifically, Hamas has failed to return all live and deceased hostages, with one deceased hostage's location known but withheld by Hamas.
• 🚫 Hamas has also stated they do not intend to give up governance or disarm, which were integral parts of the 22-point peace deal.
• 📈 Hamas's delays are seen as an attempt to reorganize, rearm, and recruit new members.

Potential Path Forward

• 🕊️ President Trump is hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss speeding up a peace deal.
• 🗣️ Netanyahu is expected to inform President Trump that moving forward with phase two initiatives, including a peace board and an international stabilization force, still makes sense.
• 💪 However, Netanyahu will likely ask for US support in disarming Hamas if the international force lacks the will to do so, aiming to resolve the conflict decisively.
