United States President Donald Trump used his social network social network on Wednesday (3) to demand that the terrorist group Hamas immediately free all 20 hostages that would still be alive in their power.
In his post, Trump emphasized that he does not accept partial return, such as 2, 5 or 7 hostages, and stated that total liberation would cause a rapid change in the situation and could lead to the end of the conflict.
“Tell Hamas to immediately return all 20 hostages (not 2, 5 or 7!), And things will change quickly. This will end!” Wrote the US President.

Trump referred specifically to the 20 hostages that are believed to be alive, although the total of people kept in captivity is 48.
In response, the forum of hostage and missing families stressed that the nightmare will only end when all 48 are accounted for, including those who were brutally murdered during the more than 700 days of suffering.
On Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reported to the Security Office that the United States also reject partial agreements for the release of hostages.

According to Netanyahu, the strategy must be firm and definitive, as the window of international legitimacy for Israel is limited, and any break for partial negotiations could undermine the effort to destroy Hamas.
Meanwhile, family members of the hostages have held a symbolic demonstration in front of the US embassy in Tel Aviv, asking Trump to use his influence to ensure an agreement that brings the hostages back and closes the war.
The action included a table with a fictitious “hostage return agreement, a symbolic certificate of the Nobel Peace Prize and coins with the image of the former president, highlighting the historical importance of the moment.
