I have no idea where you are getting your insider knowledge but of course we want the war to end, have you any information on how? What is Trump, your hero planning to do to end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza during his inauguration? It all sounds so mysterious

As Commander Harris, RAF said of Germany who started WW2, "They reaped the wind and sowed the whirlwind." Now Hamas, what's left of you, ask yourselves why you did this and put your people in danger? Of course as they have a billion portfolio, they don't have to worry.

Anyway back to the topic of the thread. I hope more countries join Slovenia
@Dulra any news about this in Ireland?
@Auvergne63 France?

I’ve just been to Spain. No news and I really doubt taking into account they’re one of the countries that pay the most cash in. I’ve said it many times but I wish my government did more than what it’s doing (which I’m finding it quite fake)

So you just have sound bites no actual plan..
Now who does that remind me of....

Not to butt in on @Dulra but I have been checking the journal news app here in Ireland and haven't seen anything.

Sorry @Martymcfly24 didn’t realise you were Irish as well.

No bother at all.

Paddystinian! Never heard that before

Yes @EasterIssland as marty says Eurovision not on radar here yet.

Yep it's on my TikTok/ Instagram a lot.
Supposedly was coined as an insult for us by Israeli media and as typically Irish people would they ran with it and turned it into a positive!

You can bet your life those hostages will be released by January 20th.

Why, what do you think he's going to do?

Who are you talking to?

Paddystinian. Pathetic.

Ok 🤣

Sounds like a threat....never knew Trump cared so much about random mumsnet posters

I really hope this is true . If Trump can bring an end to the suffering that would be great .

Whose suffering and how will he end this suffering if hell breaks through in Gaza. If something Hamas has proven is that they don’t care about lives really not even theirs and they’ll die if they have to. The only way they’ve released hostages ALIVE is by ceasefire. Doubt they’ll release any if hell breaks through

Ha ha. You making some very strong points here. What are you like?

Trump. Well he certainly lacks detail. We can only hope that this unlikely orange saviour will bring peace to the world.

Trump doesn't even know what Trump wants. He chops and changes according to who he's speaking to at the time or more accurately what has been fed into his earpiece that day.
He doesn't understand the intricacies of the Middle East and his sledge hammer style of politics is not suitable for an area on a knife edge

The only advantage is that Trump hates spending money on anything that doesn't benefit himself (and to a lesser extent America) and I cannot see him wanting to give billions to Israel especially as he won't be seeking reelection so the donations from AIPAC are not as essential.

His party blocked billions of money not long time ago to Israel because they preferred to spend it on the Mexican wall

Jared Kushner says Gaza’s ‘waterfront property could be very valuable’

Donald Trump’s son-in-law also says Israel should bulldoze an area of the Negev desert and move Palestinians there

President Trump: YOU HAD BETTER GET THOSE HOSTAGES BACK BY JANUARY 20TH OR ELSE.
Do you think a warning like this by the most powerful man on the Planet is to be lightly regarded? I'm betting Hamas are not going to ignore it.
