Recent remarks he made urging an end to the Gaza conflict, with no insistence on freeing Israeli hostages first, were another departure from conservatives’ support for Benjamin Netanyahu.
I'll translate from mob-boss-speak: when Trump says "finish up," he means "complete the extermination of the Palestinian people quickly, before the anti-genocide opposition can finish mobilizing to stop it."
That's incredibly speculative. What reason do you have to think Trump cares HOW the conflict ends? When has trump ever cared about anyone besides himself?
Well, for starters, Trump also said that Israel needs to "finish what they started" and what they started was a genocide, so...
He also said Israel needs to "get it over with" and that's something you say when you want someone to complete an unpleasant task rather than abandon it.
