i will repeat: you cannot negotiate with hamas, and trump is a buffoon for trying to. yet, he seems to have swallowed his own propaganda, and decided hamas will do what he tells them to, despite hamas apparently having actually rejected the plan.

that is because this is trump. he doesn't really care about the middle east, he cares about self-promotion. somebody probably told him it's intractable, and once the meaning of the word was explained to him, he decided he was going to do it. so, this is about marketing trump as the prince of peace, not about actually achieving meaningful peace; it doesn't matter what hamas says or does, it just matters how trump markets himself. is he quoting beatitudes yet?

meanwhile, the israelis are stuck dealing with the idiot's whims, until he gets distracted by a teenage girl walking by.
