President Trump made clear that he would not support Hamas, either rhetorically or materially. This stance led to a significant shift in international support for Hamas.

The moral clarity in understanding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been lost by some. The Israelis showed tremendous restraint in warfare, despite the sadism of Hamas terrorists.

The only reason that Hamas had Gaza was because Israel said, all right, fine, you know what? We're pulling out, and it was not politically popular in a whole bunch of different ways in Israel at the time. They had to pull Israelis out. I mean, actually physically pull them in some cases. They had to remove them. The military removed them. They left behind all this infrastructure. And Hamas turned it into terrorist live on Firefox.

Hamas could have done what it did today by never starting this war in the first place. But instead, they decided they would put the entire world and Palestinians and Israelis through misery and through hell.

Hamas must be expelled from any leadership position to prevent future conflicts. It's a red line for Israel, and we must help enforce it to avoid civilian suffering again.

The revised peace deal between Israel and Palestine was altered to benefit Israel, undermining the possibility of a Palestinian state and leading to its rejection by Hamas.

There is skepticism about whether Israel will accept Hamas as a participant in the government going forward.

Hamas might be unpopular in Gaza, but there is rising popularity for Hamas in the West Bank, and they still are carrying the mantle of Palestinian nationalism.

The idea that the Palestinians have suddenly become moderate is not true. What happens next is crucial.

I would be shocked. I'll fall out of this chair if Israel never bombs Gaza again and fully withdraws at some point. It's inconceivable. It's like never happened.
