    The reason he couldn’t get it done with Hamas was that Trump had promised Israel he wouldn’t pressure a ceasefire if he won. If he hadn’t made that promise this could have ended six months ago. The only reason it’s happening now is he’s saying he will break the promise. I mean, what has he actually offered Israel that was not already offered, to accept what sounds like the exact same deal from months ago?

      Bidens had over 400 days to get a deal done and couldn’t. Trump said that if the hostages weren’t released by the time he takes office all hell would break loose in the middle east. It’s obvious what happened here, at least to most of the country

        What does “all hell” even mean. Big talk, small stick . Besides, he said that since before the election, so why didn’t it happen the moment he was elected? Also, I think this is the deal Hamas wanted signed months ago. It was Israel that rejected it. Israel wanted all hostages and a temporary ceasefire, not a long term one.
