US President Donald Trump again tells reporters that fewer than 20 hostages may be alive in Gaza.
“Look, young people don’t die, they just don’t die. They can take a lot, but a lot of people died in these horrible tunnels. They’re mostly in the tunnels,” he says while speaking in the Oval Office of the White House.
