GAZA — Despite early reports that the Palestinian terrorist organization was open to accepting the terms of President Donald Trump's brokered peace plan, Hamas rejected the deal to end alleged genocide in the region after learning it would require them to stop killing Jews.

Trump's 20-point roadmap to peace initially seemed to be on the fast track to being approved by both Hamas and Israel shortly after he announced it, but hopes of a lasting end to hostilities were dashed when Hamas said they would not accept any deal that meant they would need to stop plotting and carrying out plans to murder more Jewish people.

"No can do," said Hamas spokesterrorist Qadir Ghazzawi. "While we would be open to speaking about terms to bring an end to this conflict, we find the requirement that we stop killing Jews non-negotiable. If President Trump would like to present a plan that would allow Hamas to survive while also retaining the opportunity to murder many, many Jews, we would take it under consideration. Thank you, Great Satan America, and death to Israel."

Sources within the U.S. State Department said any peace negotiations that include a prohibition on Hamas killing more Jews would be tough sledding. "It seems to be a real sticking point for them," one insider said. "While they talk a lot about wanting peace, they sure do love killing them some Jews. It's a real pickle."

At publishing, Hamas had reached out to representatives of the U.S. and Israeli governments to propose a scenario in which Israel stops all military operations while Hamas continues to come up with more ways to murder Jews.
