- Trump announced a "historic" deal reached with negotiators this week that includes disarming Hamas, previewed for upcoming Sunday shows
- Skeptics questioned whether the agreement can move from paper to reality, per the Sunday shows preview
- The deal is part of Trump's 20-point plan aimed at reaching a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip
- Hamas disarmament sits at the center of the agreement and faces particular implementation hurdles
Why it matters: Skeptics publicly questioning whether the deal can move from paper to reality signals that the announcement alone won't satisfy demands for verifiable disarmament of Hamas. The 20-point plan's credibility now hinges on whether the disarmament provision can actually be enforced on the ground.
