President Donald Trump said on Oct. 25 that he was “watching very closely” to ensure that Hamas releases more bodies of deceased Israeli hostages in the next 48 hours as part of the Gaza cease-fire deal.
Trump warned in a Truth Social post that Hamas terrorists should return the bodies, including those of two Americans, “quickly” or face action by the countries backing a peace deal.
