Donald Trump Criticizes Hamas: ‘They Want to Die’
In recent remarks, former U.S.
President Donald Trump delivered a stark and uncompromising assessment of Hamas fighters, asserting that they are deliberately seeking self-destruction and have no interest in peace negotiations.
According to him, militant groups exploit hostages as leverage in diplomatic games and aim to maintain control over a situation that has long spiraled beyond their reach.
Trump emphasized that they refuse compromises or agreements, and are willing to go to the end, even if it means their death or total annihilation.
His critique came amid rising tensions in the region, particularly following a hiatus in negotiations between Israel and Hamas and an escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Experts warn that such rhetoric could deepen the crisis and hinder efforts toward peaceful resolution.
U.S.
officials confirmed they exited negotiations due to Hamas's activities and its designation as a terrorist organization, emphasizing that the talks were not conducted honestly.
Meanwhile, France announced its intention to recognize a Palestinian state, and Australia expressed concern over Gaza's worsening situation, urging Israel to deliver humanitarian aid.
Despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, Trump disclosed he communicated with Israeli leadership but declined to share details, noting that the situation remains tense and complex.
The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza continues to grow, prompting many countries to demand swift action to prevent further tragedy for the civilian population.
