Netanyahu makes Hamas an "offer they can’t refuse"

Netanyahu presents Hamas with his own Don Corleone-style Deal – Accept Gaza’s political reshaping willingly, or face destruction on the battlefield

Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs 01.09.2025

In the movie “The Godfather,” Marlon Brando’s Don Corleone famously utters the line: “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.” The phrase has since transcended cinema, becoming shorthand for a mixture of enticement and threat, a promise of a reward if accepted, and dire consequences if rejected.

Today, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, backed by the Trump administration, is hinting at something similar in the geopolitical arena of Gaza.

I don’t think there should be any kind of deal. Destroy Hamas. How many times do they have to prove they can’t be trusted?

Don’t let the socialist marxists democrats get involved.

They always go back to electing radicals. It will lead to more of the same. They create their own caste structure over and over again.

Don't you trust Egypt for anything.

This solution reeks of naivette. It is difficult to change Islam's principles. It says Mohammed was wrong. Impossible!

I think this could work.

I nominate Mosab Hassan Yousef, the Green Prince/Son of Hamas, to be the new head of State for Gaza! He is the best choice to help Gaza. 🤩👍💕 🧐🤔💕😉

I don't like the idea of relying on intl. orgs. anywhere near Israel. They are all antisemitic & anti-Israel. Look at UNWRA & the UN or the ICC! I don't like the article's recommendations.

Every line of the articule exudes weakness. There s only one solution for Gaza: the total and permanente expulsion of the arab settlers.

Raki Rene 00:05 28.08.2025 7 days ago

May there be peace & prosperity for Israel on every front of this ‘game’! 🙏🇮🇱

Ridiculous All tainted from birth Islamic Arab Gazans need to be removed from every square inch of Israel Forever

Start the offensive already! Destroy hamas and then turn the page

Everytime we agreed to their condition, they are not satisfied. Let's finish them. The Jewish ✡️ people are tired of being victims by them.

Aliza Circle 20:55 27.08.2025 7 days ago

Prime Minister of Israel 🇮🇱 Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu. We have bent forward and backward for Hamas to release the hostages.

[Anonymous] 17:50 27.08.2025 8 days ago

Mohammad Dahlan,who lives in UAE , could be a candidate for changing the PA with people accepted by Israel to do the job on Israel’s conditions. I am not on his side cuz I don’t know him.Israel knows

David Zarichniak 17:06 27.08.2025 8 days ago

This is not rocket science and Hamas has to make a choice get out and stay out of die. Being the radical Islam's believe in being martyrs they will chose death. GOD bless Israel and its people.

Michelle Kahn 12:15 27.08.2025 8 days ago

Wise words G*D willing it comes through with minimum deaths! Up to Hamas to concede.
