The Week: Trump Tells It Like It Is in Gaza

• We should have stopped Sydney Sweeney at Munich.

• President Trump, who is clearly growing frustrated and angry about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, spoke out forcefully against moves by the U.K., Canada, and France to reward Hamas by recognizing a Palestinian state. He pointed the finger where it belongs. On Thursday morning, with his envoy Steve Witkoff in Israel for talks about a cease-fire and the situation in Gaza, Trump posted on Truth Social: “The fastest way to end the Humanitarian Crises in Gaza is for Hamas to SURRENDER AND RELEASE THE HOSTAGES!!!” If the rest of the world were to echo this statement, rather than criticize Israel, there’d be a better chance for a deal to end the war and allow more aid to reach the people of Gaza.
