Like it or not, Hamas is still in charge of Gaza internally and is the prevailing government there.

They did agree in the ceasefire to turning over to a new government which will be formed by other countries.

I don't think Hamas is just planning to go away. Hard to imagine how things settle down in Gaza without an outside peacekeeping force of some kind.







It's all Israel's fault.

I’m me step at a time. Hamas cannot be trusted!
Keep praying! Today there’s a reason to rejoice over the return of innocent hostages, what’s left of them.
October 7 2923 was not provoked by Israel. These were innocent women, men, babies slaughtered or held hostage.

I may not be an expert on biblical prophecy but what exactly is going to happen 897 years from now?

I wonder if Jared wrote the speech for his FIL.
Any speech written for Trump is basically a guideline. He adlibs a LOT.

He does.

i’m quite anxious about this situation. even knowing very well it’s going to take time.
that’s one of the internet challenges: PATIENCE. PRAYERS.

i’m perfectly comfortable with an older, wiser, more docile Trump.

Indeed, we have heard a great deal of campus protests, celebrities speaking out, etc. about the plight of Gazans and how Israel needed to stop oppressing them. I agreed with this even if I didn't always agree with their methods of protesting.

Now I would like to see them bring the same energy to liberating Gaza from Hamas as well and see the same enthusiasm and dedicated determination to protesting all of Hamas' supporters, of which there are quite a few.

I think anyone writing for President Trump would write a fraction of what he actually says in his speeches. And he can be quite funny! But what amazes me is how sharp he is when he does his press conferences he’s hit with so many challenging questions and he doesn’t miss a beat.
