Pakistan: The United States President issued a strong ultimatum to Hamas today, demanding the immediate release of all hostages held in Gaza. He emphasized that this must include every individual—not a partial or selective release. “Not 2 or 5 or 7,” the President stressed

Hamas responded promptly, reaffirming its willingness to negotiate a comprehensive agreement—one that would involve the release of all Israeli hostages in exchange for a negotiated number of Palestinian prisoners

This exchange signifies a significant escalation in U.S. involvement amid ongoing regional tensions. The U.S. President’s no-compromise stance underscores heightened international pressure on Hamas, while also illuminating the increasing role of the U.S. in attempting to influence the direction of hostage negotiations.
