President Trump declared full-throated support for Israel’s final military push against Hamas after the group rejected a fresh U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal, saying plainly: “You have to finish the job.” With Gaza in ruins and global outrage rising, Washington’s message is unapologetically clear—terror has a price, and Israel is right to collect.

“Finish The Job”—Trump’s Clear-Cut Doctrine

During a press briefing on July 25, President Trump broke from diplomatic norms with his bluntest call yet for Israeli escalation. “It got to a point where you have to finish the job,” he told reporters, blasting Hamas for rejecting the latest American-brokered ceasefire terms. He accused Hamas of bad faith and “wanting to die,” while praising Israel’s military response as both justified and overdue.

This marks a decisive rupture from years of ceasefire juggling and symbolic mediation. The Trump administration’s position is now absolute: no more carrots for terrorists. The rejected ceasefire became the final straw, and the green light for Israel to eradicate what remains of Hamas’s command structure in Gaza.

Macron’s Diplomacy Dismissed as “Meaningless”

As Israel intensified its campaign, French President Emmanuel Macron attempted to shift the narrative by formally recognizing a Palestinian state. Trump was unmoved. “What he says doesn’t matter,” he snapped. “It’s meaningless.” The White House confirmed that recognition would not impact American policy or stop Israeli operations.

Trump’s comments highlight a transatlantic split: Europe clings to symbolism, while the U.S. is pushing for decisive action. Macron’s maneuver drew praise from EU bureaucrats but fell flat with Israeli and American officials, who see it as diplomatic theater amid a real war.

Catastrophe in Gaza, Chaos on the World Stage

The humanitarian toll in Gaza has reached devastating levels. Nearly 60,000 Palestinians are reported dead, with widespread child malnutrition, crumbling infrastructure, and disease looming as aid convoys struggle to reach the enclave. U.N. officials and NGOs have issued dire warnings about famine. Yet Washington insists the root cause is Hamas’s continued use of human shields and rejection of peace deals.

Meanwhile, ceasefire negotiations in Doha have collapsed. Both U.S. and Israeli envoys exited talks after Hamas refused terms deemed “beyond reasonable.” Trump’s administration is signaling that diplomacy is now off the table—at least until Hamas is fully neutralized.

Global pressure mounts, but the administration appears unmoved. For Trump and his allies, this is the logical endpoint of a failed era of appeasement. The new doctrine is clear: terror must be crushed, not negotiated. And those who call for restraint while missiles fly? They’re watching history pass them by.
