"An Agreement must be reached with Hamas by Sunday Evening at SIX (6) P.M., Washington, D.C. time," Trump wrote Friday on social media. "Every Country has signed on! If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas. THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER."
This morning, the Trump administration was notified by the United States military that Israel was attacking Hamas, which, very unfortunately, was located in a section of Doha, the capital of Qatar. Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace, does not advance Israel or America's goals.
Aid organizations are urging world leaders to use all possible tools to stop the Israel-Hamas war, warning that inaction will cost more lives. The joint statement from more than 20 organizations, released by Save the Children, came after a UN human rights commission accused Israel of genocide an allegation Israel has rejected, saying it targets the Hamas militant group, not civilians. At the same time, Israel has embarked on a major ground offensive in Gaza City.

The four journalists covering the ongoing Israel-Hamas war were among 19 killed in the hospital blast, including paramedics who had apparently responded to the scene of a previous bombing, the AP reported. The IDF just killed journalists from Reuters, Al Jazeera, AP and NBC.
Let's be clear: President Trump has the power to end the starvation of the Palestinian people, Vermont's politically independent senator Bernie Sanders posted on X. Instead he is doing nothing while watching this famine unfold. Enough is enough. No more American taxpayer dollars to Nethanyahu's [sic] war machine. Sanders, who also pushed resolutions to ban selling US weapons to Israel, has long been consistent about his concern regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza amid the war.
Netanyahu labeled Mamdani's proposed policies as nonsense, suggesting he would likely serve one term if elected in November, and criticized calls to defund the police.
