US President Donald Trump criticized Hamas's treatment of Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip, calling it 'disgraceful.' The hostages who have been released under the current ceasefire deal have shown signs of poor health and severe malnutrition. Trump's Secretary of State Mark Rubio and US Deputy Mideast Envoy Morgan Ortagus also condemned Hamas's behavior, with Rubio stating that the terror group must release the remaining hostages or face its demise. Israel has delayed the release of Palestinian prisoners until it receives assurances that Hamas will end the 'humiliating ceremonies' during hostage handovers.
