In a recent interview with Chris Cuomo of NewsNation, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Senior Advisor Adam Boehler discussed the precarious state of the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. Rubio emphasized the fragile nature of the truce, stating, “It’s always a tenuous ceasefire, because you’re dealing with a terrorist organization in Hamas.”  

 

 

He stressed that Hamas has engaged in heinous acts, including kidnapping, murder, and other atrocities, making it an unreliable participant in any negotiations. “You’re not dealing with a nation-state here who’s operating under the laws of war or any laws for that matter,” he noted. Given these challenges, Rubio underscored the uncertainty of the ceasefire’s survival, particularly as the weekend approaches.  

 

“The President’s been very clear he wants to see those hostages come – be released. He’s tired of this drip, drip every week,” Rubio said. He pointed out that American citizens are among those held captive, making the situation even more urgent. “He’s made very clear that if that’s not the case on Saturday, then all bets are off. And it’s not going to be good for Hamas.” While he expressed hope for a peaceful resolution, Rubio also made it clear that Hamas cannot be allowed to dictate the terms of the ceasefire selectively.  

 

When asked whether he believed Hamas’s claim that Israel had failed to deliver agreed-upon aid, Rubio dismissed the terrorist group’s assertions outright. “Well, I think you can’t believe anything Hamas says,” he stated. He acknowledged that a major concern for Israel is preventing Hamas from exploiting the ceasefire to smuggle weapons and rebuild its military capabilities. “Israel can’t allow that to happen. You can’t allow Hamas to use the ceasefire to sort of rebuild itself and recover strength.”  

 

Rubio reiterated that Hamas’s ultimate goal remains the destruction of Israel, making any truce inherently unstable. He expressed cautious optimism that ongoing diplomatic efforts from regional players might help sustain the ceasefire. However, he made it clear that if the truce collapses, responsibility will lie squarely with Hamas. “Let’s hope that we can overcome this hurdle over the next 72 hours. I know that a lot of countries in the region are weighing in, and hopefully we’re going to have a good outcome on Saturday; and if not, then I think Hamas will be to blame.”

What's sad is you comparing Trump to those evil terrorists still holding innocent hostages

There seems to be no depth the leftist losers won't sink to - even siding with Hamas.

"From hell's heart I stab at thee. For hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee."

 

Seek help you guys.

A more balanced assessment would have examined the claims on the basis of their merits, not on the basis of the messenger.

 

Perhaps independent monitoring might be a good idea.

UN states that aid has surged since the ceasefire, in fact over 600 trucks per day entered. Do you believe every claim Hamas tells you? No need to answer that, quite obvious already.

 

Anyway Hamas went ahead and released the hostages, another deliberate delaying tactic in their psychological torture that sucks in their apologists perfectly to amplify their terror messages.
