President Donald Trump issued a "last warning" to Hamas, demanding the immediate release of all hostages and the bodies of those killed in Gaza. He condemned Hamas for their actions, calling them "sick and twisted," and urged the people of Gaza to make a smart decision, warning that those who continue holding hostages would face severe consequences. Trump expressed strong support for Israel, stating he would provide all necessary resources to "finish the job" against Hamas. His remarks followed a meeting with eight former hostages at the White House. The White House confirmed US officials had engaged in direct talks with Hamas representatives in Qatar, marking a shift from the US policy of not negotiating with the group. Israeli officials reported that around 24 hostages, including Edan Alexander, were still alive in Gaza, while at least 35 bodies were being held. Trump's envoy, Adam Boehler, led the negotiations.
