**Qatar Tells US It Can Convince Hamas to Disarm, Accept Trump Plan**
Sources told the *Jerusalem Post* that Qatar is “capable of persuading Hamas to agree to a deal that includes demilitarization.”
In a notable diplomatic development, US President Donald Trump was escorted by Qatar’s Emir, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, towards Air Force One as he departed Al Udeid Air Base. The president was en route to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, after his visit to Doha, Qatar, on May 15, 2025.
This visit underscores Qatar’s potential role as a mediator in the ongoing conflict, leveraging its influence over Hamas. The proposed deal aims to achieve demilitarization of Hamas in exchange for acceptance of the Trump administration’s peace plan.
