Trump says US might lose patience with ceasefire deal

WASHINGTON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - President Trump on Sunday said he was losing patience with the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas after seeing footage of the Palestinian militant group release Israeli hostages over the weekend, whose appearance he compared to Holocaust survivors.

Trump's reaction to seeing images of the three hostages, who appeared gaunt upon their release on Saturday, brought fresh uncertainty over the deal's fate before all remaining 76 hostages are freed and came days after the president called for the removal of Palestinians from the enclave and for the U.S. to take control of it.

"They look like Holocaust survivors. They were in horrible condition. They were emaciated," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on his way to New Orleans to attend the Super Bowl. "I don't know how much longer we can take that ... at some point we're going to lose our patience."

"I know we have a deal ... they dribble in and keep dribbling in ... but they are in really bad shape," Trump said of the Israeli hostages.

Palestinian prisoners show frailty and abuse, like Israeli hostages

By Adam Schrader

Feb. 9 (UPI) -- While many expressed outrage over the frail appearance of Israeli hostages released Saturday, human rights groups raised concerns about the lack of similar indignation over the conditions faced by Palestinian prisoners, who also showed signs of torture.

The majority of Palestinian prisoners are being released with health problems, the Palestinian Prisoners Society, a non-governmental organization in the West Bank, said in a statement Saturday. Seven of the Palestinians who were freed Saturday in the fifth exchange of captives were immediately taken to a hospital for treatment.

"Among the most prominent crimes committed against them are: torture, deprivation of medical treatment, enforced starvation, systematic abuse and humiliation as well as severe beatings, which take place with the aim to kill prisoners or to cause them lifelong injuries and health issues," the NGO said in its statement.

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, after the fourth exchange of captives on Feb. 1, published photos of one of the Palestinian prisoners who appears severely emaciated.

6. The article is based on information sourced exclusively from Euromed, an extreme left biased source

According to Media Bias Factcheck,

Overall, we rate Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor as left-biased due to its focus on human rights issues. We also rate them mostly factual in reporting rather than high due to the specific sources of some claims not always being explicitly mentioned and the need for more transparency in their funding.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/euro-med-human-rights-monitor-bias/

The only photo which served as a basis for the author's allegations and Euromed's claomsof abuse is attributed to an even more obscure source, Silwanic, an obscure local advocacy outlet in East Jerusalem. No attribution other than the name of the source to indicate context or date of the photo accompanied it, and I could not find it on their website (https://www.silwanic.net/) or using reverse image search.

Considering the unverifiable nature of the information presented inthe article and the questionable nature of its sourcing, I wouldn't give these claims much credibility.

3. If Trump used the word "emaciated"

I will quit golfing.

4. The reporters probably clean up and enhance the quotes

to make Dear Leader sound coherent and educated.

5. Trump's Nazi followers will be upset he admitted the Holocaust actually happened.

Musk was thinking of sending his DOGE demolition crew to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, to "re-evaluate" the historical exhibits and threaten federal funding cuts if Nazis weren't given equal time and portrayed more positively.

7. Gee Donnie, and what is your next good idea when you lose your patience....no TV for Bibi and Hamas for a month?

He can leverage Israel maybe, short of US boots on the ground he has nothing Hamas will worry about.
