Trump Tells Israel to ‘Finish the Job’ Against Hamas Weeks After Suggesting Ceasefire Deal in Sight
GAZA STRIP, JUL 25 – Israel and the U.S. consider new tactics to secure hostage releases as Hamas rejects ceasefire offers and nearly two years of conflict continue, officials say.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump called on Israel to intensify its efforts and fully eliminate Hamas in Gaza after ceasefire and hostage negotiations fell apart.
- This statement came after Hamas rejected a US-backed ceasefire, prompting Trump to pull his negotiators back amid ongoing complex negotiations and a growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
- Trump accused Hamas of preventing aid distribution and praised the $60 million US contribution while dismissing French President Macron's plan to recognize a Palestinian state as lacking weight.
- Trump commented on Hamas, suggesting they are prepared to perish, and indicated that Israel must intensify its efforts to confront and eliminate the group, implying that a ceasefire is unlikely in the near future.
- The development suggests that while some see opportunities to resume talks, the focus is shifting to military actions and exploring alternative options to end Hamas's control and secure hostages.
