“I Don’t Want a Ceasefire”: Donald Trump Rejects Pope’s Call

After Pope Leo called for a ceasefire and renewed dialogue in the Middle East, Donald Trump pushed back strongly. “We can have dialogue, but I don’t want to do a ceasefire,” Trump said, arguing that halting fighting makes no sense “when you’re literally obliterating the other side.” He claimed the enemy’s military capabilities and leadership have been completely dismantled, signaling no immediate interest in pausing the conflict despite international calls for de-escalation.
