Trump's “genocide” threat to Gaza: If Hamas do not publish hostages, “they are dead,” they are dead. “

Than white House said on Wednesday that secret talks with Hamas. President Donald Trump had gone on social media to not only threaten the militant and political group of the Palestinian group, but also the entire population of Gaza.

“Publish all the hostages now … or it is over for you,” Trump wrote in an explanation that was published in his account in the truth -social social.

Then he expanded his threats.

“Also for the people in Gaza: expected a nice future,” wrote Trump. “But not if you hold hostages. If you do that, you are dead! “

In the past, Trump has triggered similar threats to Hamas, as his promise, before it started in January that “hell in the Middle East will break out” if the hostages have not been published – a message that he repeated in the first phase of the ceasefire contract. But Trump's language, which aimed at the broad Palestinian population, stabs as a call for civil battles in a place where at least 48,000 people were killed in the war between Israel and Hamas, thousands of further buried under rubble.

“When he appeals to the people in the Gaza in their collective, he follows with a threat and says” You are dead if you don't, YZ, “that is the genocide rhetoric,” said Khaled Elgindy, visiting scientist at the Georgetown University. “He threatens an entire population with death – what else is that except genocide?”

Trump's statement follows the introduction of his “Gaza Riviera” plan so that the USA occupies and “adopt” gaza strips and displaced the Palestinians during the reconstruction. Palestinians, Arab leaders, legal groups and the United Nations have violently condemned the residents of Gaza for ethnic cleaning. Trump's latest threats are a result of this Gaza plan, said Elgindy, who helped to negotiate business between the Palestinian leadership and Israel in the past.

“This is the same president who prepares a plan that corresponds to ethnic cleaning. Therefore, it is completely consistent to continue in the same streak and to present a guideline that is confirmed by the genocide acts,” said Elgindy.

Israel's right -wing extremists for the elimination of the Palestinians from Gaza and in the West Bank, where Israeli military invasions and annexation of the Palestinian country under Netanyahu have accelerated since October 7, 2023.

This week leader approved an alternative plan that Palestine placed on a way to a two-state solution, retained the Palestinians during the reconstruction in the Gaza in Gaza and set up a temporary authority for independent experts and the use of international peace troops. The United States and Israel both rejected the plan.

Trump's statement included another promise to “continue to send Israel what it takes to end the job.” Last week, the Trump administration approved a new weapon contract with Israel worth around $ 3 billion in weapons, including more than 35,500 MK-84 and Blu-117 bombs, also known as 2,000 pound bombs.

However, the White House confirmed on Wednesday that US diplomats are employed in discussions with Hamas to publish the remaining hostages that were captured during the attack by Hamas on October 7th. So far, the United States had refused to go diplomatically with Hamas because it speaks to groups of diplomatically for many years of politics that they listed as terrorists (the United States listed Hamas in 1997 as a terrorist group). Instead, US officials have communicated through other nations such as Qatar and Egypt in the run-up to the ceasefire contract.

During the first stage of the ceasefire, Hamas published Israeli hostages in an exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. But last week, Israel refused to enter the second phase of this ceasefire plan, which required the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and further prisoner exchange. Israel had attributed a new plan -the real estate developer and the US envoy Steve Witkoff -who would extend the first stage of the ceasefire and enable the Israeli military to operate in Gaza for another 40 days. Hamas declined the plan and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who had been caught up with the entry into Gaza by entering humanitarian aid, a probable violation of the war crime, when Ramadan began.

The timing of Trump's latest threats to further questions in the US position. Trump undermines his government's own diplomacy, the use of blusters as a fog wall or signal to Israel that the United States is on board with the requirement of Netanyahu to cancel the ceasefire?

“At least the Israelis will take it as a license to do everything they want,” he said.
