President Trump told Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, to do whatever he wants with the ceasefire deal with Hamas.

 

US President Donald Trump has told Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to do whatever he wants in the next stage of the ceasefire deal with Hamas.


After attending the Daytona 500, President Trump spoke from the tarmac and explained his most recent position on the Gaza crisis.


'I told Bibi, you do whatever you want,' he revealed.


In mid-January, Trump assisted in brokering a ceasefire deal for the release of all Hamas hostages. But when it became apparent that Hamas was contemplating not delivering on its end of the bargain, Trump warned 'all hell is going to break out.'


My statement was that they need to come back now. The reason I made that statement was because they announced they wouldn't deliver the people they promised to.


Following his direct response, President Trump asserted that Hamas had transported all individuals, including an American.


As the focus shifts to phase two of the ceasefire agreement, President Trump has indicated that he has left it up to President Netanyahu to determine the most appropriate path.


He said that Israel will decide on the next step, and then added, 'in consultation with me'.

 

According to President Trump, the latest prisoners released by Hamas are in 'pretty good shape'.

 

The people from last week didn't appear in good shape, which is good news.

 

Their appearance reminded me of those who had survived the Holocaust. Whatever occurred to them was horrifying.

 

In a joint statement, Netanyahu and the U.S. discussed their respective countries' efforts. Both nations have a common strategy in relation to Gaza, as acknowledged by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

 

The duo made a promise to open the gates of hell against Hamas if the terrorist group fails to return all hostages as agreed upon.

 

'We can't always share the details of this strategy with the public, including when the gates of hell will be opened, as they surely will if all our hostages are not released until the last one,' the statement read.


'We will eliminate Hamas' military capability and its political rule in Gaza. We will bring all our hostages home, and we will ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel.'
