U.S. President Donald Trump has accused Hamas of avoiding a ceasefire deal with Israel due to fears of retaliation once Israeli hostages are freed. Speaking at the White House, Trump said Hamas doesn't truly want peace and warned its members will be hunted down. He emphasized that the U.S. and Israel seek only a temporary pause in fighting. Hamas, however, claims it wants a permanent ceasefire and criticized the U.S. stance, while Israel has pulled its negotiators from Qatar-mediated talks.
