Hamas want to die, they’re not after any deal with Israel – Trump

Hamas want to die, they’re not after any deal with Israel – Trump

United States President, Donald Trump,  on Friday said that Hamas did not want a ceasefire deal in Gaza, after Israel and the United States quit indirect negotiations with the Palestinian militant group.

“It was too bad. Hamas didn’t really want to make a deal. I think they want to die,” Trump said.

In Qatar, mediators had been shuttling between Israeli and Hamas delegations for more than two weeks in a bid to secure a ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages after nearly two years of fighting.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government was still seeking a deal despite recalling its negotiators from Doha.

Trump blamed Hamas, saying “now we’re down to the final hostages, and they know what happens after you get the final hostages.”
The US president also dismissed the decision by France’s Emmanuel Macron to recognize a Palestinian state.

“He’s a very good guy, I like him, but that statement doesn’t carry weight,” Trump said.
