Trump made these comments on Friday, July 25, after a telephone call with Netanyahu.
“Hamas didn't really want to make an agreement. I think they want to die and it's very bad. Has reached a point where you have to finish the job”, The US president said, before leaving for a trip to Scotland, reports the Axios.
Trump added that the Israelis “They will have to fight and clean the situation ” And that Israel “will have to escape (by Hamas)”.
He also said that he always thought that Hamas would not want to free the remaining hostages, because he did not want to lose “exchange currency“And”protection”.
“Now they will be hunted“, Trump said about Hamas.
The crisis in negotiations comes as the humanitarian situation becomes more and more catastrophic, with more and more reports, from the UN and other agencies, about Palestinians who die of hunger.
In the last week, Israel agreed with an armistice proposal from Qatarezi and Egyptian mediators, but Hamas tried to make a counterflow that Israel quickly rejected. It led to an interruption of the indirect negotiations in Doha, who had made considerable progress, according to the cited publication.
The US withdraw their team of negotiators from Qatar's discussions for an armistice in the Gaza strip, after Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, accused Hamas “lack of availability to conclude an armistice”.
“We decided to repatrie our team from Doha for consultations after Hamas's latest response, which clearly shows a lack of will to reach an armistice in Gaza. Although mediators have made considerable efforts, Hamas does not seem to act in a coordinated way.”transmitted the special send of the US in a statement.
USA and their partners “They will now consider other options to bring home hostages and try to create a more stable environment for the Gaza population”, The statement said.
The announcement indicates a step back in the diplomatic efforts to end the siege, destruction and difficult situation for the Palestinian Enclut population, after more than 21 months of war.
