Trump tells Israel to ‘finish the job’ against Hamas weeks after suggesting ceasefire deal in sight
Only a few weeks ago, President Donald Trump seemed confident a deal was days away that would end the fighting in Gaza, secure the release of hostages and allow aid to flow into an enclave where people are starving to death.
Militants “didn’t want to make” a deal, Trump said after U.S., Israeli ceasefire negotiators pulled back from talks.
Hamas issued a scathing statement in which it rejected U.S. criticism of its handling of negotiations aimed at ending the nearly two-year-long war in Gaza.
It marks the latest setback in efforts to secure a deal that would bring a ceasefire to Gaza and secure the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
