When President Donald Trump returned to the White House on January 20, 2025, weapons shipments previously halted by the Biden State Department to the Israeli government were sent out the door - including 2000 pound bombs.
"The U.S. authorized the release of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, Jan. 25, 2025, a munition that had previously been held back. The president told reporters at the time that those weapons had been paid for and that Israel had been waiting 'a long time' for their delivery," DOD News reported.
Since then, Hamas has released a number of starved and beaten hostages, including Americans, during sickening propaganda parades and celebrations. They did this when they returned the bodies of October 7th's youngest victims, Kfir and Ariel Bibas. Their mother, Shira, was not returned until a day later after terrorists deliberately sent a random woman's body in a locked casket. All of them were murdered and mutilated.
These scenes prompted Trump to tell Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "do whatever he wants" and explained multiple times from the Oval Office he was "losing patience" with Hamas.
Late Saturday night, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced an emergency approval of $2 billion in additional weapons.
"I have signed a declaration to use emergency authorities to expedite the delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel. The decision to reverse the Biden Administration’s partial arms embargo, which wrongly withheld a number of weapons and ammunition from Israel, is yet another sign that Israel has no greater ally in the White House than President Trump," Rubio released in a statement. "Since taking office, the Trump Administration has approved nearly $12 billion in major FMS sales to Israel. This important decision coincides with President Trump’s repeal of a Biden-era memorandum which had imposed baseless and politicized conditions on military assistance to Israel at a time when our close ally was fighting a war of survival on multiple fronts against Iran and terror proxies."
"The Trump Administration will continue to use all available tools to fulfill America’s long-standing commitment to Israel’s security, including means to counter security threats," he continued.
Then, after meeting with former hostages at the White House Wednesday, Trump issued one last warning to the terror organization. Israel has a new Chief of Staff, who is preparing the Israeli Defense Forces to go back into the Gaza Strip to finish the job. From the Jerusalem Post:
"We are preparing to return to fighting," Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir said on his first day as the 24th IDF Chief of Staff on Thursday.
The comments were made during a meeting with the heads of local councils from the Gaza border communities.
"We must defeat Hamas," said Zamir. "We are also preparing to resume fighting. The hostages are our top priority."
They’d better do it while there still is a US President who will have their back.
Oh noes! More genocide.
Yes, they are going to “finish the job”.
Going forward there will be no more terrorism or hatred after they ethnically cleanse Gaza. Muslims around the world will forget about the whole thing and definitely, without a doubt, with 100% certainty....not care one bit about who supplied the 2000 bombs that killed their wives and children.
Blowback is pretend.
Happy hunting, Bibi.
Returning to fighting is a very long way from being willing to “finish the job”. This is just Protective Edge redux; another ‘haircut’.
Actual ground troops in the IDF know:

“Soldiers to their commander: We will not be cannon fodder for deals of surrender”
The job can NEVER Be finished so long at 1.8 million Arabs remain in Gaza. Most support or work for Hamas, the rest are used as human shields that the IDF is far too cautious about killing during their operations. Trump is 100% right. They must leave or all tunnels abd hidden assets can never be found and neutralized.
“The job can NEVER Be finished so long at 1.8 million Arabs remain in Gaza. Most support or work for Hamas, the rest are used as human shields...”
Absolutely true.
There are only two real choices for the people of Gaza - extinction or exodus.
The world would never stand for something that looks genocidal in nature and on the flip side, no one wants the Gazans in their country.
Please-do it. Then go back and do it again, just to be sure. Some people just need killin’ and Hamas is them.
The Boss is not playing ...
President Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social: “’Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye - You can choose. Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted! I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say.
“I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed. This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance. Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!”
He signed the message ‘Donald J. Trump President of the United States
I sure hope so. The sooner the better.
Trump makes reference to Netanyahu, “...somebody’s going to have to get a lot rougher than they’re getting.”

...During a conversation with reporters in the Oval Office, Trump was asked about Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff’s comments that if Hamas does not release hostages, the US and Israel could take some action and whether that meant military action.
“Well, you’re going to find out,” Trump replied, adding, “I had the honor of spending a lot of time yesterday with quite a few of the people that we got out, and I can’t believe how badly treated they were, really badly treated. Stories that you wouldn’t even believe. Some of it was documented. And it’s a shame.
“Look, Biden wasn’t able to get anybody out. We came along and they started releasing. But we have 59 [hostages] left, of which 24 are living. The rest are dead. And I put out a statement, it’s sort of self-explanatory, I think, but somebody’s going to have to get a lot rougher than they’re getting. It’s a shame,” Trump added...
