It was clear from the wording of the Hamas statement that it was by no means an unequivocal acceptance of the 20-point plan. "President Trump responds to Hamas' acceptance of his Peace Plan," Karoline Leavitt wrote. Hamas had basically said "yes, but" to Mr Trump 20-point plan, and yet intriguingly Mr Trump was choosing to take it as an acceptance of his plan. Mr Trump and his team know that the Hamas response does not yet commit to disarmament and it does not yet agree to fully disband - both conditions of the 20-point plan. And the Israeli attack on Hamas negotiators in Qatar last month really angered Mr Trump and his advisors.
