US envoy Steve Witkoff has described Hamas’ treatment of captured Israeli hostages as “intolerable,” warning that President Donald Trump will not tolerate it. This comes after a meeting between Trump and eight former hostages, where he posted a “last warning” to Hamas on his Truth Social platform.
Witkoff said the president was “blunt” in his demands for Hamas to act responsibly and release all remaining Israeli hostages immediately. He also warned that if Hamas doesn’t comply, it will face consequences.
Hamas has dismissed Trump’s threat, insisting that the best way to free the hostages is through negotiations on a second phase of the ceasefire agreement. However, with only limited preparatory talks held so far, it remains to be seen how this will play out.
Trump has made it clear that if Hamas doesn’t comply, he will send Israel everything it needs to finish the job, and warned that not a single Hamas member will be safe. The situation remains tense as Gaza’s people face an uncertain future unless they release the hostages.
