"Yingst asked Trump, When did you know Hamas was going to release the hostages? Well, I tell ya, I think it really started when we took out the nuclear capability of Iran, replied Trump. When you look at what they had, you couldn't have made this deal if somebody is sitting over there with a nuclear weapon over your head."
"The president told Yingst that the ceasefire deal now presents a great opportunity to revamp Gaza. Even before the war, it was it was a hellhole, let's face it, Trump said. Before this, before the bombing and everything else. He added that when he sees pictures and video of Gazans, he sees good people, and that he hopes they can remain there as it is rebuilt."
"The president was referring to Operation Midnight Hammer in June, when seven stealth bombers flew from Missouri to Iran and bombed three nuclear facilities. Trump did his interview with Yingst in Israel, where he arrived early on Monday for the release of 20 living hostages that were held by Hamas. Their release comes a little more than two years after Hamas terrorists broke into Israel and slaughtered 1,200 people, before taking hundreds of hostages back to Gaza."
President Donald Trump said a U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear capabilities spooked Hamas and accelerated the release of Israeli hostages. He attributed the development in part to Operation Midnight Hammer, when seven stealth bombers reportedly struck three Iranian nuclear facilities in June. The interview took place in Israel as 20 living hostages were released after being held by Hamas for more than two years following a deadly attack that killed about 1,200 people. Trump called the ceasefire a chance to revamp Gaza, described Gaza as previously dire, and said he hopes Gazans can remain as reconstruction proceeds.
