Lara Trump didn’t mince words on her Fox News program when she warned that Hamas must be held accountable for its actions, and patriotic Americans should be grateful someone in the media is finally speaking plainly. Her show, My View with Lara Trump, has become a platform for unapologetic conservative truth-telling at a moment when weak-kneed diplomacy would only reward terrorists.
The backdrop for her blunt talk is a fragile, U.S.-brokered ceasefire and a peace plan that promised an end to two years of carnage but left dangerous gaps that terrorists can exploit. Washington’s proposal was supposed to freeze hostilities and move Gaza toward reconstruction, yet implementation depends on Hamas taking concrete steps it has repeatedly dodged.
That reluctance to disarm isn’t theoretical — senior Hamas officials have openly said they intend to keep security control in Gaza, undermining any hope of lasting peace and proving that negotiations with a sworn enemy require clear enforcement, not naïve trust. Meanwhile, horrifying footage of Hamas executing suspected rivals is a reminder that this organization governs by terror and must not be treated as a legitimate authority.
The U.S. has even warned that Hamas might violate the truce with new attacks, forcing a reckoning about whether mere words will stop the killing or whether stronger measures are necessary to protect civilians and honor promises to Israel. President Trump and his administration have made clear that disarmament is non-negotiable and that the option to use force remains on the table if Hamas refuses to comply.
Conservatives should demand accountability, not appeasement: a real peace requires dismantling terror infrastructures, securing hostages’ release, and ensuring Hamas cannot rebuild its capacity to strike again. It’s time for the international community to stop rewarding brutality with negotiations and start backing enforceable steps that protect innocent lives and restore order — and anyone who stands in the way of that must know they will be held accountable.
