US President Donald Trump told Israeli media that he does not believe Hamas will release hostages under the current circumstances. In an interview, Trump said it would be very difficult to reach a deal for their release and declined to comment on Israel's military actions in Gaza City, emphasizing that Israel must make its own decisions to end the war and bring the hostages home. Trump also insisted that Hamas cannot remain in Gaza and urged people to remember the events of October seventh. Trump recently spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, discussing Israel's plans to seize remaining Hamas strongholds and expressing continued support for Israel.
