Trump Accuses Hamas of Derailing Ceasefire, Urges Israel to ‘Finish the Job’ in Gaza

Former President Donald Trump has squarely blamed Hamas for the stalled ceasefire negotiations in Gaza, suggesting Israel should escalate its military actions. During a press briefing, Trump expressed his views on Hamas, saying, “I think they want to die, and it’s very, very bad.” He further commented, “It got to be to a point where you’re gonna have to finish the job.” This position represents a notable departure from his previous statements. His administration pulled its negotiators from talks in Doha, citing concerns over Hamas’s conduct. Amid these developments, Trump also addressed the US aid to the region, stating the US had given $60 million and hoped the money would reach its intended recipients. He dismissed the French President’s decision to recognize Palestine as a state.
