Donald Trump: “Hamas is a Terrorist Organization” Donald Trump: “Hamas is a Terrorist Organization” Former US President Donald Trump reiterated his stance on Hamas, calling it a “terrorist organization” and emphasizing the need for Israel to finish the job. “Hamas is a terrorist organization. They have to finish the job. They have to finish the job,” Trump said in a video posted on Truth Social. The former president’s remarks come amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, which began with Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel on October 7. The attack resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and the abduction of around 240 others. In response, Israel launched a retaliatory military operation in Gaza, aiming to dismantle Hamas and secure the release of hostages. The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with thousands of Palestinians killed and injured. Trump’s statement aligns with the US government’s official position, which has designated Hamas as a foreign terrorist organization. However, his direct and forceful language reflects his characteristic style and underscores his strong support for Israel’s actions. The former president has consistently voiced his support for Israel’s right to defend itself and has been critical of Hamas’s actions. His latest remarks are likely to be seen as a further endorsement of Israel’s military campaign. The ongoing conflict continues to be a major international concern, with calls for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza. The situation remains volatile, and the path to a lasting peace is uncertain.
