Donald Trump puts pressure on negotiators or ‘bloodshed will follow’
Donald Trump is putting pressure on negotiators to reach peace in the Hamas-Israeli conflict – telling them to “move fast” or “massive bloodshed will follow”.
It comes ahead of planned negotiations in Egypt’s Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, which are indirect and being hosted by Cairo.
Delegates include Israel’s strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer and Hamas chief for Gaza, Khalil Al-Hayya, who has been living in exile. The aim of the negotiations is to secure the release of the hostages and end the fighting, that has been raging for two years tomorrow.
Taking to his Truth Social platform, the president said: “TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OR, MASSIVE BLOODSHED WILL FOLLOW – SOMETHING THAT NOBODY WANTS TO SEE!”
