Trump repeats ultimatum to Hamas: ‘They better let the hostages come back soon’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President-elect Donald Trump reiterates his ultimatum to Hamas to release the hostages it is holding in Gaza by the time he takes office.
At a New Year’s Eve gala at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump is asked by a CNN reporter whether he has spoken recently to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about a potential ceasefire and hostage deal, talks for which appear to have hit a snag.
“We’re gonna see what happens,” Trump replies, before adding: “I’ll put it this way: they better let the hostages come back soon.”
