Hamas Now Offering Concessions Thanks to Pressure from Trump: Reports.
Pressure applied by President-elect Donald Trump was pivotal in progressing the recent ceasefire and hostage-release negotiations between Israel and Hamas. According to a senior administration official who spoke to NBC News on Friday, Trump’s desire for a deal to be in place before he enters office was “a bit factor” in pushing Hamas to make significant concessions.
Trump warned Hamas through his Truth Social platform that there would be severe consequences if hostages were not freed before his inauguration on January 20, 2025. His direct approach has influenced Hamas to agree to allow Israeli forces to remain in Gaza temporarily post-conflict and to provide a comprehensive list of hostages, including American citizens, for release.
A Biden government official admitted, “There is a confidence we have not seen since May when [Joe Biden] presented his proposal,” acknowledging Trump’s role in the possible breakthrough.
