Got a credible link confirming Hamas response to trump's threat will be to release the hostages? The only Hamas response I can locate is below.... https://www.newsweek.com/hamas-hits-back-trump-threat-1994943

Not going to happen

What, in your opinion can trump do by force, without in the process killing hostages, where Israeli combined forces have been unsuccessful? To date I don't believe Israeli forces have been constrained by Rules of War.

Thanks, but MAGA indifference to trump and co's actions contravening long established and legal protocols

No

I agree re hostages. But unless trump already has a secret agreement in place for when he takes the Oath Of Office and just red meat wind-up in the meantime, he really should keep his mouth closed otherwise conflicting approaches only confuse matters. The Israelis allegedly have already killed most of the Hamas leadership and fighters and presumedly know where any Hamas survivors are, just trump usual big mouth threats.

Difference of opinion - you deflect and post blah, blah trying too be a MAGA supporter

Go try, but Logan Act is very clear - one president at a time - it is also very clear trump is engaging in negotiations https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/trumps-envoy-meets-qatari-israeli-prime-ministers-ceasefire-push-2024-12-04/

trump and co have zero regard to protocols. No point to respond further

An example... https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/12/09/trumps-hostage-envoy-the-president-said-he-wants-the-hostages-and-he-will-get-them/ Plus trump endeavours to 'negotiate' by tweets / social media posts

Woosh....

There is no guarantee whatsoever that trump can positively contribute to the release of hostages in Gaza prior to his confirmation. . IMO it is not constructive to have two US separate political parties attempting to negotiate, just muddies the waters. However, let's see what happens in the coming month. Maybe Netanyahu has a secret agreement with trump to agree a hostage release deal just after his inauguration.

No, trump isn't the 'man' until he's sworn in.

Biden has not been declared as unable to fulfil his official fun functions, if he were, Kamala Harris would then be President until trump is sworn in.

People reporting to trump, but not yet confirmed in their positions are negotiating. Under the Logan Act my understanding it is illegal for private individuals to negotiate with foreign governments / entities. i.e. One President at a time" during the transition period.

I had understood that it is illegal for a President Elect to negotiate with foreign entities prior to taking the Oath of Office?

The Israelis have been bombing Gaza for more than year and still bomb Gaza every day. So Does trump mean he's going to make the rubble bounce or indiscriminately kill more civilians?

<snipped for brevity> Not to me as he's appointing sycophants for very important roles with little or no experience. As well as indulging in nepotism which I believe it not a good outlook for the American people.

NATO fighter jets have been scrambled in Poland and along the Alliance's eastern flank as Vladimir Putin used strategic bombers and modern warplanes to unleash terror on Ukraine. NATO fighters are scrambled as Putin launches major attack

<snipped for brevity> trump had meeting with country leaders before without actual positive outcomes for the US e.g. North Korea and PRC. Made to look foolish on a few occasions. So far as we know his current meetings as President Elect have not produced verifiable positive outcomes for the US. We will know results in say 1 / 2 years.

So no actual achievements for the US.

@G_Money Exactly what has trump achieved whilst president elect for the USA and it's people that's been enacted in legislation/Agreements?

Do you understand "confidential sources" They are not FBI staff.

Unlike you I don't treat Trump as Jesus Christ. Here's another con against the American people from Trump and he isn't even in power. Just today he back tracked on his ridiculous claim he will lower prices for just about everything which he repeatedly claimed at his rallies. No doubt you will come up with some duck and swerve on behalf of your master - lol https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-walks-back-prices-down_n_675af8f3e4b04606476ba6cd

OK, not based upon facts. Next time make it clear your claim is just an opinion
