President Donald Trump expressed uncertainty on whether the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel will hold, praising his role in helping to secure it in the first place while diminishing his predecessor, APA reports citing CNN.
“I can’t tell you whether or not the cease fire will hold. We’ve done, I think, a very masterful job. We weren’t helped very much by the Biden administration, I can tell you that, but we’ve gotten quite a few hostages out. We’re going to get more out, but we’re dealing with very complex people,” Trump said.
“We are going to see whether or not it holds. We certainly want to have more come out. They’ve come out damaged, in many ways, damaged, very damaged people, but they’re going to get better, and they’re going to be strong, and they’re going to have a good life, because we hope to gain as many as possible. Whether or not it holds, I don’t know. We hope it holds. We hope it holds.”
Trump also said more hostages will be released tomorrow: “Tomorrow, more are being released, and over the days, more, then we’re going to a phase two.”
The president also stressed the urgency of the situation, adding, “But we’d like to get all of the hostages, and if we don’t, it will just make us somewhat more violent.”
