Hamas Double-Crosses By Trump? Hamas Exposes Trump’s Deception, ‘Tricked After Hostage Release’

Hamas is accusing the Trump administration of betrayal after the release of American-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander. In a shocking revelation, senior Hamas official Basem Naim claims that Trump’s envoy promised to lift the Gaza blockade, allow humanitarian aid, and publicly call for a ceasefire in exchange for the hostage’s release. But according to Hamas, the U.S. “threw the deal in the trash” and delivered none of its commitments. #Hamas #Trump #GazaWar #HostageRelease #TrumpGazaDeal #GazaCeasefire #DonaldTrump #HamasHostage #TrumpMiddleEast #GazaNews #AmericanHostage #HamasTrumpDeal #IsraelHamasWar #GazaCrisis #TrumpOnGaza Also Read Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Launches Hamas-Style Missile Attack on Jammu; All Intercepted By Indian Air Defence :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-launches-hamas-style-missile-attack-on-jammu-all-intercepted-by-indian-air-defence-4147919.html?ref=DMDesc Missile from Yemen Disrupts Flights in Israel Ahead of Key Vote on Gaza War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missile-from-yemen-disrupts-flights-in-israel-ahead-of-key-vote-on-gaza-war-4143509.html?ref=DMDesc

Former Hamas Hostages’ Letter to Trump and Netanyahu REVEALED | Trump Pressed After Edan’s Release

Survivors of Hamas captivity are calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump, and envoy Steve Witkoff to act urgently following Edan Alexander's release. In a passionate letter signed by 65 former hostages, they urged leaders not to waste the moment and to halt military action if it means saving the remaining captives. While Trump negotiates new Middle East deals, pressure mounts to prioritize the hostages. With several Americans still held or declared dead, the plea emphasizes cross-border urgency. Netanyahu’s office has not responded to the emotional appeal for a comprehensive deal. #Hamas #HostageCrisis #Israel #Trump #Netanyahu #EdanAlexander #MiddleEastPeace #FreeTheHostages #Gaza #USPolitics #IsraelHamasWar #TrumpDeals #SteveWitkoff #BreakingNews #MiddleEastCrisis #AmericanHostages #AbrahamAccords #SyriaIsrael #WarNegotiations #GlobalAppeal Also Read Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Launches Hamas-Style Missile Attack on Jammu; All Intercepted By Indian Air Defence :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-launches-hamas-style-missile-attack-on-jammu-all-intercepted-by-indian-air-defence-4147919.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Warns Hamas As Israel Strikes Gaza Amid Truce Collapse: 'Negotiations Only Under Fire' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-warns-hamas-as-israel-strikes-gaza-amid-truce-collapse-negotiations-only-under-fire-4098633.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~ED.346~

Israeli Attack Kills 31 Near Aid Point In Gaza | Hamas SLAMS Israel Accusing IDF Of Bloodshed

An Israeli attack near a U.S.-backed aid distribution site in Gaza's Rafah killed at least 31 people, according to local health authorities. As ceasefire negotiations falter, blame is being traded between Hamas and Israel over the tragic incident. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which operates the site, denies any casualties. Meanwhile, Israel's military claims no knowledge of civilian injuries from its fire. The deadly strike comes amid failed truce talks, escalating violence, and accusations that aid is being weaponized. Over 54,000 Palestinians have died in Israel's ongoing Gaza offensive. #GazaCrisis #IsraelHamasWar #RafahStrike #CeasefireTalks #AidUnderAttack #MiddleEastConflict #GazaWar #IsraelAttack #Hamas #HumanitarianCrisis #USBackedAid #GHF #PalestineNews #BreakingNews #TruceFailure #GazaDeaths #RedCrescent #NasserHospital #IsraelUnderFire #WarCrimes Also Read Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc Shots Fired Outside CIA Headquarters Hours After Israeli Embassy Staff Killings :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shots-fired-outside-cia-headquarters-hours-after-israeli-embassy-staff-killings-4161067.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

Trump Calls Zelensky “Very Stubborn”, Avoids Calling Russian President Good Or Bad Amid War

When asked whether he views Vladimir Putin as a “good guy or bad guy,” Donald Trump offered a calculated response, refusing to label the Russian President. Trump stated that he knows Putin “very well” and called both Putin and Ukraine's Zelenskyy “very stubborn.” His comments come as Russia unleashes intense new strikes on Ukraine. Trump expressed disappointment over the escalation but stopped short of harshly condemning Putin, raising questions about his stance on the ongoing war. The ambiguity of his statement is already sparking heated political and public debate. #TrumpPutin #TrumpUkraine #TrumpRussia #PutinStubborn #TrumpOnPutin #ZelenskyyTrump #RussiaStrikes #UkraineWar #TrumpSpeech #USPolitics #PutinNews #TrumpInterview #Trump2024 #RussiaUkraineConflict #TrumpVsPutin #TrumpOnZelenskyy #PutinUkraineWar #TrumpResponds #BreakingNews #Geopolitics Also Read Punched Me In Face...: Elon Musk Appears With Bruise Near Right Eye; Know What Happened :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/punched-me-in-face-elon-musk-appears-with-bruise-near-right-eye-know-what-happened-4168879.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Representatives To Visit US Next Week, Trade Deal With India Very Close: Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-representatives-to-visit-us-next-week-trade-deal-with-india-very-close-donald-trump-4168699.html?ref=DMDesc US Court Battle Over Trump Tariffs Brings No Reprieve For EU :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-court-battle-over-trump-tariffs-brings-no-reprieve-for-eu-4168589.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~
