Trump would not elaborate on what he meant by his threat — first announced on social media in early December — that "all hell will break out" if a deal is not made.

"It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone," Trump said.

I wonder if he's implying that this threat includes Israel. I'm probably being too hopeful, but maybe the Trump administration will actually compel Israel to negotiate a deal. It wouldn't be the first time a Republican president reined in Israel.

Yeah, that's why Hamas aren't giving out the list of still alive hostages.
Obviously there aren't any left

What do you think would happen if Hamas came out with a list that said:

So many have been killed in bombings, this many were killed while running towards Israeli troops, and those all died because of lack of food, water and/or medicine.

If the signal of the message can be traced, Israel would probably bomb it

Didn't say it would make any difference
