    Seems more likely he’ll just let things devolve further…

    Trump would not elaborate on what he meant by his threat — first announced on social media in early December — that “all hell will break out” if a deal is not made.

    “It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” Trump said. -Source

    Not sure he understands the implications of his own statement…

      Stopping a genocide is the opposite of devolving. Trumps statement is a direct threat to Israel. There is no leverage or “worse” for Hamas. Democrats trying to spin Trump stopping the genocide into something bad is comical.

        Well, let’s see what happens.

        I also highly doubt he’s gonna do anything. Add on top of that, that very few outside countries seem to care about Trump, much less respect him enough to actually listen to anything he has to say.

          What did that ‘respect’ get little old Joey Brandon? All Trump had to do was threaten to cut off the weapons.

          Trump already did something

            They already have weapons, both sides, and America doesn’t sit on the worlds supply of weapons. So that will get him nothing.

            His envoy pressing for a ceasefire seems to do very little, as everybody else has been doing the same for a while now.

            What else have you got?

            I’m sure all the money AIPAC gave to Trump has no impact. We know Trump to be such a non-transactional person. You drank a big ass glass of the MAGA koolaid dude. Netanyahu and Trump are very friendly, I’m sure he wants to make it look like Trump brought a cease fire for optics. Israel is losing support all over the world, even in Israel, they were pushing towards the optics of a cease fire for a while. You wait and see what really happens. I’m sure the author of the Muslim ban who constantly decries negatively towards Islam is going to stand up for the poor Islamic state over the rich lucrative Israeli state. 🤦🏻

              Trump gets his funding from Miriam Adelson. the $100 million she gave him is clearly not even close to what the Democrats received. Becacuse Trump is stopping the genocide instantly. Kool aid is supposed to be red but these days it is blue.

                Dude Trump isn’t even in office yet lol.

                Your logic as viewed by everyone else:

                “If it’s good, Trump did it. If it’s bad, it’s Biden’s fault.”

                PLEASE tell me you’re thinking it through more than this, then let’s have a dialogue about that thought process because I am incredibly curious how you got there.

                Kool aid comes in multiple colors.

        Trumps statement is a direct threat to Israel.

        You realize he’s literally threatening Hamas here, no?

        “It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” Trump said.

        He seems more likely to stop the genocide by allowing Isreal to just kill everyone so there’s no one left to genocide…

        They are more likely to give Israel a lot of leeway, including releasing Biden’s hold on the transfer of certain weapons to finish the job as soon as possible. Source

        In that article I don’t see that Dump (or Biden) did much more than posturing around this. Also anything that refers to this conflict as a 15 month war is suspect.

              I thought you meant evidence Trump was responsible for the ceasefire. For Democrats trying to claim credit here is an example.

              Trump and Biden both claim credit for Gaza ceasefire deal

        What makes you think Trump should get the credit?

        Biden said his admin and the incoming Trump admin worked together on it, and Trump’s is responsible for the implementation and continuance of the agreement.

                Its ok to be wrong. I find it kinda funny though that you had to downvote a purely factual article just because you didn’t like the development of the situation.

                It can’t be the source because you used the same one 40 minutes ago: https://lemmy.ml/comment/16115856

                  Do you understand the difference between Democrats trying to take credit, and Israelis and Arab sources attributing the credit to Trump?

                  One takes credit. The other is given credit.

        Although Democrats did completely drop the ball on this and never should have sent Israel anything, we also got the terms of this deal last year from Biden, so there also that.
