Trump’s Special Envoy Has Plan To Get All Hostages Released And End The War

Too bad it doesn’t involve send in hundreds of drones to wipe Hamas from the face of the Earth. Because Hamas and the Islamists will never give up. They even say so

U.S. envoy tells Israeli families of plan to bring all the hostages home

Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy, told Israeli hostage families on Saturday that the United States has a plan to bring home all the remaining captives held by Hamas in a sweeping deal and that an end to the war was near, according to a recording of the meeting published by Israeli Channel 12 television.

Witkoff met the families in Tel Aviv after attending an impromptu protest that was held in the city after Hamas released a video, late Friday, of a gaunt 24-year-old hostage, Evyatar David, describing a lack of food while in captivity in Gaza and urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war.

Hamas and its militant affiliates have often released similar videos during critical junctures in negotiations with Israel to stir public sentiment and apply pressure on the government.

Trump “now believes that everybody should come home at once, no piecemeal deals. That doesn’t work and we’ve tried everything,” Witkoff said, according to the recording of the meeting.

I wonder if this involves backdoor threats from the Trump admin

Witkoff also told the families that Hamas was ready to commit to laying down its arms, Israeli media reported, citing families who had met with Witkoff.

Hamas immediately denied on Saturday that it was ready to disarm. “Resistance and its weapons are a national and legal right as long as the occupation persists,” it said in a statement. “We will never relinquish this right until all our national rights are restored, foremost among them the establishment of an independent, fully sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.”

And there it is: what we’ve said all along. Hamas and the Palestinians want Israel wiped out, the Jews killed, and the area turned into a hardcore Islamic caliphate. Obviously, the Washington Post has nothing to say on the matter, they just gloss over it. But, they are happy to run with the “Gazans are starving narrative afterwards.” All they have to do is release the hostages and lay down their arms.
