The Fox News Rundown Evening Edition: Gaza Ceasefire Resumes After Attack On IDF
Oct 29, 2025
Dan Feferman, Co-editor at Middle East 24 and reserve major in the Israel Defense Forces, offers keen insights into the complex dynamics of the Gaza conflict. He argues that Hamas has never genuinely agreed to a ceasefire, viewing it mainly as a chance to regroup. Feferman critiques international media for misrepresenting the situation and emphasizes Israel's military objectives rather than calculating casualties. He also discusses the influence of Qatar and Turkey and warns that Hamas will likely continue using proxies to disrupt peace efforts.

Episode notes
Hamas Won't Relinquish Power
- Hamas publicly refuses to disarm or cede power and will not accept international governance in Gaza.
- Dan Feferman says this guarantees Hamas will sabotage long-term peace efforts while pretending compliance.
Two-Part Ceasefire Reality
- The ceasefire contained two linked agreements: an immediate halt to fighting and a wider political framework for Gaza.
- Feferman stresses Hamas only agreed to the short-term halt, not the regional plan for demilitarization and reconstruction.
Plausible Deniability As A Tactic
- Hamas will use proxies and plausible deniability to violate the ceasefire while publicly claiming compliance.
- Feferman warns this pattern enables rearming, regrouping, and political consolidation in Gaza.
