Trump, Gaza Ceasefire & Hostage Deal

US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told Axios that US President-elect Donald Trump wants to see a Gaza hostage deal and ceasefire before he returns to the White House in January. “Trump is more determined than ever to release the hostages and supports a ceasefire that includes a hostage deal. He wants to see it happening now,” Graham told Axios. 

“I want people in Israel and in the region to know that Trump is focused on the hostages issue. He wants the killing to stop and the fighting to end,” he said.  “I hope President Trump and the Biden administration will work together during the transition period to release the hostages and get a ceasefire,” he added.
