Trump Promises to Wipe out Hamas' if he Shows more stubbornness
Prsident Donald Trump promised that Hamas will face "complete obliteration" if the terrorist group refuses to give up power and control of Gaza as he seeks to implement his plan to end the Israel-Hamas War.
When asked if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on board with ending the bombing in Gaza and supporting the United States' broader vision, Trump told CNN on Saturday, "Yes on Bibi."
In the interview that aired on Sunday, Trump added that he expects to soon know whether Hamas is committed to peace.
He said Hamas had "basically" agreed to President Donald Trump's proposal and the framework for releasing the hostages, while meetings were underway to coordinate the logistics of that.
"All those talks are occurring, even as I speak to you now, we're hoping it will be finalized very quickly, early this week," Rubio told ABC. "And I'm hoping, you know again, who knows the timeline? But this cannot take weeks or even multiple days. We want to see this happen very fast."
"Priority number one, the one that we think we can achieve something very quickly on hopefully, is the release of all the hostages in exchange for Israel moving back" to the yellow line, where Israel stood within Gaza in the middle of August, Rubio said.
He described the second phase of the long-term future of Gaza as "even harder."
"What happens after Israel pulls back to the yellow line, and potentially beyond that, as this thing develops? How do you create this Palestinian technocratic leadership that's not Hamas?" Rubio said. "How do you disarm any sort of terrorist groups that are going to be building tunnels and conducting attacks against Israel? How do you get them to demobilize?"
"All that work, that's going to be hard, but that's critical, because without that, you're not going to have lasting peace," he added.
