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.

That's on-brand for him.

It's just vague posturing. A concept of a plan for a threat at most.

Here's had an Iranian general killed in his own country. It's all posturing until it isn't, which is a big part of the problem. Whish is pointless rambling and which is a legitimate threat?
