WhatsappDespite President Trump’s pressure, Hamas appears to have refused to make a final ceasefire deal with Israel. In response to this the US team left Doha, Qatar.
“Hamas didn’t really want to make a deal. I think they want to die,” Trump told reporters outside the White House
“I said this was going to happen,” Trump told reporters, claiming to have predicted the current impasse.
“We got a lot of hostages out. But when you get down to the last 10 or 20, I don’t think Hamas is going to make a deal because that means they have no protection. And basically that’s what happened,” he said.
“I think what’s going to happen is they’re going to be hunted down,” Trump continued. “It [has] gotten to a point where [Israel is] going to have to finish the job.”
Israel is “going to have to fight, and going to have to clean it up. You’re gonna have to get rid of [Hamas],” he said, acknowledging that the situation is “sort of disappointing.”
So is Israel going to crush Hamas once and for all? Not necessarily. Do to Trump’s statement, Hamas has now announced that they are willing to be flexible. This also does not mean there will be deal. Hamas loves stalling and once again showing that their real intentions are to run out the proverbial clock until Israel weakens their position even more.
