Trump Calls for Immediate Hostage Release by Hamas in Gaza

Former US President Donald Trump addressed the situation in Gaza on Friday, indicating ongoing positive discussions with Hamas. He demanded the immediate release of all hostages taken during the recent conflict. Trump cautioned that the situation would become more complicated and dangerous if the hostages were not released. He stated that releasing the hostages now could yield better results, and also acknowledged the demands made by Hamas as ‘normal’, while emphasizing the need for a swift resolution. The former president conveyed his dissatisfaction with the current lack of resolution, a promise he made to fix during his election campaign. It’s estimated that Hamas is currently holding approximately 50 Israeli hostages, with about 20 of them believed to be alive. The international community continues to watch the escalating crisis closely, and the prospects for peace remain uncertain. Trump’s appeal underscores the humanitarian crisis in the region.
