NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

President Donald Trump took Truth Social Thursday with a severe message on Hamas, the remaining hostages and the deployment crisis in Gaza.

“The fastest way to end humanitarian crises in Gaza is that Hamas goes and releases the hostages !!!” The president posted.

Trump’s post shows a little change in his messages on war and the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Recently, Trump seemed to put the burden on Israel and recognized that “there is a real famine in Gaza”, representing a rare break from the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who delivered the exact message.

The Trump and Netanyahu signal agreement with Hamas is near.

Hamas rejects Trump and Witkoff’s criticism, is asking for Israel pressure

“There is no famine in Gaza, no famine policy in Gaza, and I assure you that we are committed to achieving our war objectives,” Netanyahu said in a Video declaration on X. He also doubled his commitment to release the hostages and destroy the military and governing capacities of Hamas.

“There are two ways to put an end to war: to terminate Hamas or end the Jewish state,” the president and the tower of human rights and the Holocaust Anne Bayefsky told Fox News. “Europeans claim that there is a little pregnant solution, namely to decimate Israel militarily, economically and politically and allow the Palestinian terrorists to live to see another day … President Trump rightly says, hell no; the Palestinian terrorist machine must be finished for the good of Israel, Palestinians and others.”

Trump’s Thursday post intervenes as an American special envoy in the Middle East, Steve Witkoff meets with Netanyahu to discuss the potential of a cease-fire contract, as well as the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Israel, Hamas speaks of dragging while the president of the aid group tells the UNU to stop acting like the “mafia”

Last week, the ceasefire in Qatar broke down, bringing the United States and Israel to draw its delegations from negotiators. The two countries cited Hamas’ response as the main reason to retreat. Witkoff said the terrorist group showed “a lack of desire to reach a cease-fire in Gaza” and that Hamas did not act in good faith “.

“It is a pity that Hamas acted in this selfish way. We are resolved by looking for the end of this conflict and permanent peace in Gaza,” wrote Witkoff on X.

Despite the breakdown of negotiations, the international community recently published a statement calling for Hamas to disarm, demanding that Israel leaves the strip and describing a path to put an end to the bloody Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The “New York Declaration” was signed at a United Nations conference co -chaired by France and Saudi Arabia.

The declaration, which was obtained and published by the time of Israel, calls for the unification of Gaza and the West Bank under the control of the Palestinian Authority and “the end of control of armed groups and the dismantling of their military capacities”, probably referring to Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups. In addition, the document includes praise for the efforts of the United States, Egypt and Qatar to end the war.

Obama issues a rare declaration on the issue of foreign policy

Bayefsky was not optimistic about the declaration, despite his apparent calls for peace and the end of the Hamas rule.

“New York’s declaration is an attack without restraint against the United States as well as Israel, intended to completely derail the foreign policy of President Trump and a long-standing Bipartisan commitment to a negotiated regulation,” she told Fox News Digital. “In this very long document which includes speeches on Islamic claims, there is no reference to a Jewish state, Jews or Jewish history – or anti -Semitism, the engine of the Arab -Israeli conflict in the first place.”

“The declaration indicates that there will be a meeting in New York in September to bring world leaders to attend the opening of the general meeting to connect and give President Proverbial Major,” added Bayefsky.

Israel opposed the declaration, while the United States remained away from the conference, the appellant “unproductive and ill-informed”.

“No recognition of tokens and no resolution of the UN will change the basis that there are those of the world who fight terrorists and extremist forces, then there are those who turn their eyes or resort to appeasement,” said the Israeli Ambassador of the UN Danny Danon in a press release.

State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said the conference was an “advertising” which “would prolong war, enhance Hamas and reward its obstruction and undermine the real world’s efforts to reach peace.
