President Trump’s Middle East envoy floated the threat of joint U.S.-Israel action against Hamas if the terrorist group didn’t release all hostages from Gaza.“I think there’s going to be some action taken” if Hamas fails to surrender its hostages,

President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff said that direct U.S. discussions with Hamas militants were in recent days and the message to the Palestinian militant group was that the United States wants to get hostages home.

It’s the first known direct engagement between the U.S. and Hamas since the State Department designated the group a foreign terrorist organization.
