Former President Donald Trump declared on his Truth Social platform that the return of remaining hostages hinges on confronting and destroying Hamas. “The sooner this happens, the greater the chances of success,” he stated.
Trump further asserted his record: “Remember, I was the one who negotiated and secured the release of hundreds of hostages, bringing them into Israel. I ended six wars in just six months. I destroyed Iran’s nuclear facilities.” He concluded with a challenge: “Play to win, or don’t play at all.”
