Trump Issues Stark Warning to Hamas as US Confirms Indirect Talks on Hostages

Washington, DC: Former US President Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Hamas, warning its leadership to leave Gaza or face severe consequences if hostages are not released.

 

His remarks come as the US confirms indirect negotiations with Hamas over American hostages, a significant shift in policy for Washington, which has classified Hamas as a terrorist organization since 1997.

 

Key Developments:

🔹 Trump’s Warning: “Release all of the hostages now, not later... This is your last warning!” he posted on Truth Social.

🔹 US-Hamas Talks: The first indirect US-Hamas negotiations are focused on securing the release of American hostages.

🔹 Israeli Pressure: PM Netanyahu has vowed “consequences beyond imagination” if hostages are not freed.

🔹 Humanitarian Crisis: The Gaza death toll exceeds 48,000, with international calls for Israel to allow more humanitarian aid.

 

US Policy Shift:

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the US consulted Israel before engaging in indirect talks, marking a major policy shift after decades of refusing any form of contact with Hamas.

 

Geopolitical Implications:

🔸 Trump’s approach aligns with Netanyahu’s hardline stance but clashes with Arab nations’ diplomatic efforts.

🔸 The Arab Summit’s Gaza reconstruction proposal aims to sideline Hamas and avoid forced displacement of Palestinians.

🔸 Analysts remain skeptical of a political resolution, with Palestinian expert Ghassan Khatib stating, “There’s no chance Israel will abandon Trump’s plan in favor of the Arabs’.”

 

As tensions escalate, the world watches to see whether Hamas will comply or if a new phase of conflict is imminent.
