To anyone familiar with Hamas' history, there is a greater chance of winning the lottery without purchasing a ticket than of Hamas both releasing all the hostages and abiding by all the terms of the peace deal.
The Hamas terrorist organization is an expert at delay tactics. Since Trump forced Israel to unilaterally halt its offensive operations in Gaza, Hamas will use the talks to delay as long as possible to allow it to regroup and rebuild its tunnels and defenses.
Hamas agreed to release all of the hostages as a delay tactic and to flatter Trump's ego. At best, Hamas will release most of the hostages, but there will be some hostages that Hamas claims it cannot locate. What remains to be seen is how much Trump really wants a Nobel Peace Prize and how long he will allow Hamas to stall the talks. The other question is how much patience Netanyahu has before he orders the IDF to finish the job. //
Trump likely thinks that when Hamas fails to abide by the terms of the peace deal, the entire world will have Israel's back in its effort to finish off Hamas.
However, if Trump does believe that, then he is wrong. When it becomes obvious that Hamas is not going to agree to the peace deal and the IDF resumes the war, Hamas will scream from the rooftops, "We agreed to release all the hostages and Israel failed to live up to the deal," and then like always, the international media will spread this lie far and wide and countries like Canada, Australia, France and the UK will call for the recognition of a Palestinian state all over again.
