US President Donald Trump blamed Hamas on Friday for the collapse of Gaza ceasefire talks, even as he appeared to suggest that one of Hamas's sticking points is true: that Israel would resume attacks after it retrieved the remaining captives in Gaza.

"Hamas didn't really want to make a deal," Trump told reporters outside the White House on Friday. "I think they want to die, and it's very bad. It got to a point where you're going to have to finish the job."

One of the main obstacles to the Gaza ceasefire talks has been Hamas's insistence that the release of captives in Gaza leads to a permanent end to the war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly rejected that, insisting that Hamas be fully destroyed - even after the captives are released.

Let’s not forget the effort IndustyStandard put in to making sure Harris lost. Worked at it like it was his job!

And let us not forget pro genocide trolls pretending that the only reason people opposed genocide was to make Trump win.

You can tell the tree by its fruit.

Why should they make a deal if Israel would just continue attacking them? What kind of deal is that lol. Apart from the fact that no sane person would trust Trump or Netanyahu no matter what they promised.
