At Trump inauguration event in Jerusalem, adulation meets undercurrent of unease

But even among Trump’s most fervent fans, an undercurrent of unease could be detected. Lately Trump has focused his energies, when it comes to the region, on securing a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. That effort has caused consternation some on the Israeli right, including many of the Trump admirers who showed up Monday. Multiple attendees said they felt he rushed into the deal, in which Israel will free hundreds of Palestinian security prisoners, some of them convicted murderers, for hostages held by Hamas.

“I felt a bit like he didn’t really care too much,” Cohn said. “What would have happened if he would have waited another week or two weeks? I want Hamas to be totally defeated and now it seems like they have the upper hand, and can unleash thousands of terrorists on Israel.”
