U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News Sunday he’s hopeful the hostages may soon be coming home, as President Trump delivered a stern warning to Hamas.
“I think we are closest we have been in a very long time to having no hostages held by Hamas, either living or deceased,” Rubio stated. “The second part of this – and it’s going to be a much tougher part of this – is what happens after that? Who’s going to run Gaza moving forward? It can’t be Hamas. It can’t be a terrorist organization.”

What comes after the hostage release is one of several core issues on the table in Cairo. Israel says the talks cannot drag on.
Israeli Government Spokesperson Shosh Bedrosian emphasized, “Now the Prime Minister has also made it clear that in an agreement with the Trump administration, talks will be confined to a few days maximum, with no tolerance for maneuvers that will delay talks by Hamas.”
She added, “Israel is standing by the 72-hour deadline from the moment all details are solidified with Hamas, and we’ll be ready immediately to receive all of our hostages.”
