Ah hell no. Those genocidal bastards went way way past "mission creep" decades ago.

I absolutely do not agree with your statement. Kinda find it, well, disgusting is a word for it.

This whole thing sounds far more like political posturing by Hamas in a desperate attempt to stay relevant; Israel has confirmed they're taking the Gaza strip, after all. Oh, but it's "Trump's plan" in a pathetic attempt to 'keep their hands clean'.

This doesn't change anything.
