The U.S. is reportedly preparing to engage directly with Hamas to negotiate a peace deal with Israel. But if it is this kind of diplomacy, don’t hold your breathe.
President Trump wrote this on X and this on TruthSocial, threatening: “I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say… RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!”
He said that Hamas cannot keep any more dead bodies and continued, “Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted!”
Israel also has dead bodies to exchange and had hostages long before October 7. Does he know that?
President Trump has repeatedly said that he cannot arrange a ceasefire in Ukraine without participation from both sides but has been called out for not engaging both sides of the conflict in Gaza. Well if this is his manner of engaging them, it is not to catch flies with honey.
Israel violated the terms of the ceasefire but the Trump administration sent a new round of shipments this week.
The Israeli government has cut aid to Gaza and reportedly has a “hell plan” that would “cut off electricity and water into Gaza to prepare for a full-scale resumption of the war.”
