Yes, yes, yes. They wanted Kamala to be elected. When Trump took office, the way they treated us changed.
Personally, I think it was because they anticipated a deal would be reached soon. And that’s when they started giving you more food. More food, they treated me better, they stopped insulting me, stopped spitting on me, stopped mistreating me.»
The administration of President Donald Trump has intensified its diplomatic efforts to secure the release of hostages held by the terrorist group Hamas in Gaza, in the context of a conflict that has caused over 54,000 Palestinian deaths and 1,600 Israeli deaths since October 2023.
Recent Negotiations and Proposals
Trump’s special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has led negotiations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and, through intermediaries, with Hamas leaders. These talks have resulted in a new 60-day ceasefire proposal, which includes the release of 10 living hostages and the return of the bodies of 18 deceased, along with the entry of UN-managed humanitarian aid.
Direct Pressure from the United States
In an unprecedented move, the Trump administration has held direct talks with Hamas. President Trump has issued public threats, demanding the immediate release of all hostages and warning that if not fulfilled, “all hell will break loose.”
Current Situation
Although negotiations have progressed, disagreements remain over the order of the release of hostages and prisoners, as well as the conditions for a permanent ceasefire. The international community is watching cautiously, hoping the parties will reach an agreement that ends the conflict and secures the hostages’ release.
