Vice President-elect JD Vance expressed optimism about the possibility of a deal being reached to release the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. Vance stated that the progress towards this goal could be attributed to the threats made by President Trump towards Hamas, indicating that the group may fear repercussions under the incoming administration.
During an interview on 'Fox News Sunday,' Vance highlighted the potential for a deal to be struck in the final days of the Biden administration, possibly even on the last day. He emphasized that the motivation behind such an agreement would stem from the perceived consequences that Hamas could face if they fail to release the hostages.
Vance underscored the seriousness of the situation by stating that failure to release the hostages would result in severe actions being taken. He mentioned the possibility of Israel targeting remaining Hamas battalions and leadership, as well as imposing stringent sanctions on those supporting terrorist organizations in the Middle East.
He praised President Trump's approach to handling such matters during his tenure and expressed confidence in the continuation of strong American leadership in the years to come.
