Trump Administration Pledges to Support Israel in Preventing Hamas's Return to Power
-
American official's statements reveal an integrated strategy to reshape Gaza's political landscape in coordination with Israel and Arab allies

Mike Waltz, National Security Advisor in President-elect Donald Trump's administration, made decisive statements about Gaza's future, confirming in an interview with "CNN" on Sunday that Hamas "can no longer be a terrorist organization, and will never govern Gaza. Period."
Waltz, a former legislator and veteran officer in Afghanistan, outlined the new Trump administration's strategic approach toward Gaza, emphasizing that Israel will take all necessary measures to ensure Hamas doesn't return to power, and that Washington will provide full support for this direction.
The American official discussed possible scenarios for future management of the Strip, pointing to the possibility of forming a security force with Arab support, or joint administration including multiple Palestinian components, confirming clear initial visions for the next phase.
Waltz expressed cautious optimism about the current truce, despite challenges related to the prisoners' file and the future of Gaza reconstruction, pointing to the pivotal role Trump could play in bringing concerned parties together to reach a sustainable solution.
The American advisor linked the success of the future plan to intensive diplomatic efforts and regional cooperation, acknowledging the possibility of continued resistance pockets and limited confrontations, but confirmed that the general path will move toward radical change in Gaza's power structure.
Political analyses indicate that the Trump administration's plan relies on two main axes: first is full support for Israeli measures to prevent Hamas's return, and second focuses on building a new administrative framework with Arab and international support.
In related context, observers believe that the success of this strategy requires approval from key regional parties, and providing international guarantees for security and humanitarian stability in the Strip, while finding practical solutions for sensitive files such as reconstruction and border crossing management.
