The US President Donald TramI warned that the Hamas It is at risk of “complete extermination” if it insists on maintaining control of the Gaza Strip.
In a conversation with CNN, Donald Trump stressed that Hamas would be “completely killed” if she refuses to hand over power while Washington is trying to promote her 20 -point peace plan.
According to CNN, the US president responded to the statements of Senator Lindsay Graham, who argued that Hamas had virtually rejected the US proposal, refusing any disarmament, keeping Gaza under Palestinian control and linking the release of the new ones. Trump admitted that Hamas’ attitude remains unclear, noting that only the evolution of the talks would show whether the movement is “really ready for peace”.
The president also assured that Benjamin Netanyahu fully supports his initiative and that he is soon awaiting a clear picture of the implementation of the truce. He reiterated that he “works intensively” to achieve his plan and that he remains “optimistic” for a positive outcome in the near future.
Despite his harsh statements, US diplomats acknowledge that upcoming negotiations are difficult to expect, as the battles in Gaza continue with undiminished intensity.
