Trump interested in hostage deal before taking office in January
Trump already seems to be in charge in the United States and Israel's enemies already sense that the tide has turned. The time for procrastination is over and talk for the sake of talk is not to Trump's taste. This is perhaps what pushes Qatar to withdraw from discussions, even from organized palaver, to present itself as indispensable. Hamas no longer has any real support and can only count on what remains of its organization. In addition, he is now very contested inside Gaza, and he no longer really has control of things. Worse, there is a risk of vendetta inside the terrorist enclave.
US President-elect Donald Trump wants to reach an agreement on the return of abductees and a ceasefire in Gaza even before he takes office on January 20. This is what Republican Senator Lindsay Graham said today (Saturday), in an interview with the American site Axios.
“Trump is more determined than ever to free the hostages and supports a ceasefire that includes a hostage deal. He wants it to happen now,” said the senator who sometimes advises Trump, particularly on foreign affairs and the Middle East.
I want people in Israel and the region to know that Trump is focused on the issue of abductees. He wants the massacres to stop and the fighting to end. I hope President Trump and the Biden administration will work together during the transition period. to release the abductees and achieve a ceasefire,” Graham added in an interview with Axios.
According to the Republican senator, Trump said he needed a deal in Gaza before he could focus on his main foreign policy goals in the region, including a normalization deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia and an alliance regional attack against Iran.
Biden and Trump watched Idan Alexander's video. The outgoing administration is trying to promote a deal before the change of power in the United States and, contrary to past statements, the president-elect's team has also started working on it. But Hamas insists on ending the war, as does Netanyahu. makes it clear that he will not allow this.
more than three months ago, US President-elect Donald Trump said that “it was difficult to negotiate with Hamas because most of the people kidnapped are not alive”, but in recent days, as the Biden administration attempts to push for a hostage deal before the change of power, it appears that Trump is also interested in such a deal. The president-elect, whose supporters recently began pushing for a deal, apparently changed his position on the issue following information relayed to him by Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, according to which Israel estimates that about half of those abducted are alive.
