Hamas leader Mushir al-Masri accused Donald Trump of “blatant double standards” in hostage negotiations, as the US confirmed direct talks with Hamas. Al-Masri claimed Trump prioritizes Israeli hostages over 10,000 Palestinians in Israeli prisons. The talks aim to secure hostage releases and a Gaza ceasefire, but Israel refuses direct negotiations. Trump warned Hamas to release all hostages or face consequences. Meanwhile, the Arab League proposed an interim committee for Gaza’s governance. Hamas insists forced displacement will fail. The situation remains tense, with potential US military intervention looming.
