President Donald Trump said Hamas appears to have a death wish after the terrorist organization's refusal to cut a hostage release deal prompted Israel to consider "alternative options" to bring remaining hostages home.
"They pulled out of Gaza, they pulled out in terms of negotiating," Trump said during a Friday press gaggle before a flight to Scotland. "It was too bad. Hamas didn't really want to make a deal. I think they want to die, and it's very, very bad. And it got to be to a point where you're going to have to finish the job."
Trump said Hamas refused to make a deal out of fear over what would happen to them once the last of the hostages return home.
"They know what happens after you get the final hostages," the president told reporters. "They're going to have to fight, and they're going to have to clean it up. You're going to have to get rid of it."
