Ahead of the hostage release on Saturday, US President Donald Trump emphasized he would take a “very hard stance” against Hamas if it were up to him, reiterating that Hamas should release “all” the hostages.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow at 12 o’clock. If it was up to me, I’d take a very hard stance. I can’t tell you what Israel is going to do.”
“I think [Hamas] should release all of the hostages.”
