President Trump issued a stern ultimatum to Hamas to release all remaining hostages and return the bodies of deceased individuals, claiming such actions are necessary to avoid dire consequences. This statement followed recent confirmation of direct U.S. talks with Hamas, a significant shift from longstanding U.S. policy regarding the militant group. The discussions, mediated by Qatari and Egyptian officials, are part of ongoing efforts to address the Israel-Hamas conflict, sparked by recent hostilities beginning on October 7, 2023. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Trump’s approach involves engaging with various parties to prioritize U.S. interests.
Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you.
The pointed language from Trump came after the White House said Wednesday that U.S. officials have engaged in ongoing talks and discussions with Hamas officials.
It's the first known direct engagement between the U.S. and Hamas since the State Department designated the group a foreign terrorist organization in 1997.
President Donald Trump has authorized his envoys to 'talk to anyone.'
