Trump spends the “last warning” on Hamas to publish all hostages in Gaza because the United States has direct discussions with Hamas

–

US President Donald Trump published the Hamas a “last warning” to immediately publish all hostages in Gaza – in a step that came just a few hours after the White House confirmed that it was negotiating with the militant group.

“Do not publish all the hostages later and immediately return all the corpses of the people you murdered, or it is over for you,” Trump wrote on Wednesday, shortly after he has met eight freed hostages in the White House.

Trump wrote that he “sends Israel” everything he needs to end the job “and warned that” not a single Hamas member is safe if you don't say as I say it. ”

The comments came just a few hours after the United States had confirmed reports that they negotiated the hosts and the ceasefire from Gaza directly with Hamas, in which it contradicts his tradition, not speaking to groups in which it looks at terrorist organizations. Axios first reported the talks.

It also happens that international auxiliary and right-wing groups are calling for Israel to ensure the unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza Strip after the country had stopped all the help in the enclave to put Hamas under pressure, to accept new conditions for extending the ceasefire agreement.

The United States, who described Hamas in 1997 as foreign terrorist organization, traditionally do not speak to terrorist organizations, although there were exceptions – both those negotiated with the Taliban and the Trump administrations that were negotiated as a terrorist organization after September 11.

The press spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, was asked on Wednesday why the United States negotiated “directly and for the first time with Hamas”.

“When it comes to the negotiations to refer to, the special representative who deals with these negotiations has the authority to speak to someone,” she said, referring to Trump's selection for Geisel, Adam Boehler.

“Israel was consulted and look at this matter, dialogue and spoken to people around the world to do what is in the best interest of the American people, what the president has proven, is what he is (a) good efforts to do the right thing for the American people,” added Leavitt.

CNN has contacted the National Security Council to get a comment.

The Israeli Prime Minister's office said that “the United States had expressed direct discussions with Hamas”.

The Israeli explanation did not make it clear whether Israel was aware of the conversations in advance or whether she had only found out about them later. The statement also did not realize how Israel's position was.

On Wednesday, a source had announced that CNN Israel was aware of the talks.

CNN asked Hamas for a comment.

A top Israeli diplomat seemed to refer the talks in an interview with Fox Business.

“Instead of putting pressure on Israel, President (Donald) puts Hamas under pressure, and this is the right one,” said Ofir Akunis, General Consul in New York.

“If the White House speak directly to Hamas and want to put you under pressure to publish more hostages, we will be very happy to see more hostages with your families and Israel,” he said.

In his comments on the social of truth, Trump also addressed the people in Gaza directly and said: “A nice future awaited, but not when they hold hostages.”

“If you do that, you are dead! Make a clever decision. Publish the hostages now, otherwise there will be hell to pay later! “Said Trump.

Trump previously said that he sees Gaza as a “big real estate” that he sees an opportunity to develop and that he imagines that Gaza could become the “Riviera of the Middle East”.

The Hamas warned that Trump's comments on Wednesday threatened to undermine the armistice of Gaza and Geisel.

The Hamas spokeswoman Hazem Qassem announced that the comments “would make matters more difficult regarding the ceasefire contract” and would encourage the government of Israel to avoid the implementation of the deal.

Qassem said that Hamas had fulfilled its initial phase obligations in the context of the US Agreement and that the Israeli government dismissed “negotiations for the second phase”.

He asked the United States to put Israel under pressure, to enter the second phase, “as defined in the agreement”.

On Sunday, one day after the first phase, Israel blocked the humanitarian aid in Gaza, in response to Hamas, a new Israeli proposal to extend the ceasefire without an obligation to terminate the war or to complete retreat troops. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed that Hamas benefits humanitarian aid that occurs in Gaza to “rebuild your war machine” and said on Wednesday that “auxiliary cars have become an economic engine for Hamas”.

Most of the population of Gaza is dependent on international help, and the united nations agencies have published strong warnings about the consequences of the auxiliary block.

At least 80 municipal kitchens are a risk of closing if the disruption of humanitarian deliveries continues, and the UN population fund (UNFPA) has warned of serious consequences for women and girls due to the cutoff.

The Foreign Minister of the United Kingdom, France and Germany asked Israel to “comply with its commitments under international law” and to facilitate the urgent delivery of food, water, medical care and fuel to 2.1 million inhabitants of Gaza. Long -term help “should never depend on an armistice or exploited as a political instrument,” they said.

In November 2024, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and said that “reasonable reasons” found it to be assumed that they are responsible for war crimes, including “starvation as a war method”.
