Donald Trump ordered Israel to “immediately” stop bombing Gaza as he welcomed Hamas’s partial acceptance of his ultimatum to end the nearly two-year war.
Hamas has agreed to release all hostages in return for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, as well as surrender governing power in the Gaza Strip, in accordance with Trump’s plan.
In a statement on Friday evening, the Palestinian militant group asked for further negotiations on other parts of the plan, and did not say whether it would lay down its arms – a key part of Trump’s proposal unveiled on Monday.
Despite the qualified response by Hamas, Trump said in a post on Truth Social: “Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE."
I swear to god if Trump figures out a way to actually get Israel to stop this shit I am gonna be so fucking confused I won’t know whether to shit or wind my watch. I’d probably just have to shit on my watch.
Not that the Cheeto Bandito is likely to but still…
I just pooped my pants if that means anything for you
If he doesn’t go too hard with the fascist stuff he could be beneficial in the long run. Like Winston Churchill, bit of a bastard at the time but was necessary for a few years.
No! Trump bad! Whose side are you on!?
