'They’re Going to Be Hunted down:' Trump Suggests Hamas Is Losing Leverage in Ceasefire Talks

GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 25 – Donald Trump said Hamas rejected a ceasefire and hostage deal, with Israel now exploring alternative options to end Hamas rule and recover hostages, officials said.

  • On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated they were abandoning ceasefire negotiations with Hamas in Gaza.
  • The breakdown followed Hamas's rejection of a truce proposal and the departure of U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff from Qatar without securing a deal.
  • Trump asserted that Hamas was unwilling to reach an agreement and was losing influence, forecasting that its leaders would be pursued aggressively, while Netanyahu indicated that Israel was considering different strategies to end Hamas' control and secure the release of hostages.
  • More than 50 hostages remain held by Hamas, Gaza faces worsening humanitarian conditions, including starvation reported by medical authorities, and Israel has agreed to some aid airdrops despite new supply restrictions.
  • The developments suggest a hardened Israeli stance and diminished prospects for immediate ceasefire, increasing concerns over Gaza's humanitarian crisis and future conflict escalation.
