Trump would not elaborate on what he meant by his threat — first announced on social media in early December — that “all hell will break out” if a deal is not made.
“It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” Trump said.
I wonder if he’s implying that this threat includes Israel. I’m probably being too hopeful, but maybe the Trump administration will actually compel Israel to negotiate a deal. It wouldn’t be the first time a Republican president reined in Israel.

They are. Trump likes to make statements that he thinks sound “strong”, and that’s all that “and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone” was. He didn’t actually have any intention or meaning behind it, he’s just pandering to his faux-masculine base who like hearing threats made because threatening people is “manly” in their minds.
Who’s they?
