Both sides harden stance on hostage talks amid Trump's fresh warning
The Morning Standard|January 02, 2025
US President-elect Donald Trump reiterated on Tuesday night his warning to Hamas to release the hostages it is holding in Gaza, The Times of Israel reported.

At a New Year's Eve gala at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump was asked by a CNN reporter whether he had spoken recently to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about a potential ceasefire and hostage deal, talks on which appear to have hit a snag.

"We're gonna see what happens," Trump replied, before adding: "I'll put it this way: They better let the hostages come back soon."
