President Trump suggested on Friday that Israel should finish the job and get rid of it, when asked about Gaza, which is now suffering from mass starvation due to Israels blockade.
Gaza, they pulled out of Gaza, they pulled out in terms of negotiating. It was too bad, Hamas didnt really wanna make a deal. I think they wanna die. And its very, very bad, the president said on Friday before departing for Scotland. Youre gonna have to finish the job dont forget, we got a lotta hostages out. So now were down to the final hostages and they know what happens after you get the final hostages. And basically because of that they really didnt wanna make a deal I saw that. So they pulled out, theyre gonna have to fight, theyre gonna have to clean it up. Youre gonna have to get rid of it.
Trump on Gaza: "Hamas didn't really want to make a deal. I think they want to die ... they're gonna have to finish the job ... they're gonna have to fight and they're gonna have to clean it up. You're gonna have to get rid of it."

The Trump administration has been explicit about its horrifying vision for Gaza, as the president clearly views it as potential property for an Israeli beach resort rather than an area that human beings call home. The genocidal language he casually uses here, saying that Israel needed to get rid of it, only reinforces that.
While leaders like Frances Emmanuel Macron and the U.K.s Kier Starmer have this week finally decided that the indiscriminate killing of hundreds of thousands of Palestiniansfor throwing rocks, for waiting for aid, for doing journalism, for simply refusing to leave their homeshas become too much, Trump has tripled down in his dismissiveness. All signs point to him allowing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus butchering of Palestine to continue uninhibited.
