WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump just wrapped up an Oval Office meeting with a group of hostage families and former captives.

The meeting comes one day after Israel targeted Hamas leaders in Qatar — a decision that many of the hostage families have opposed, fearing that it will further harm negotiations to secure their loved ones’ release.

Participating in the meeting with Trump are US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
