Trump: US May Lose Patience Over Israeli Hostages’ Condition (Video)
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – President Trump expressed frustration with the Israel-Hamas ceasefire after footage showed gaunt and frail Israeli hostages being released, comparing their appearance to Holocaust survivors. Speaking aboard Air Force One, he warned, “At some point, we’re gonna lose our patience.”
Trump, reacting to images of three frail Israeli hostages released Saturday, compared them to Holocaust survivors, casting doubt on the ceasefire deal before the remaining 76 are freed. His comments follow calls for Palestinian removal and U.S. control of Gaza.
“They look like Holocaust survivors. They were in horrible condition. They were emaciated,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to the Super Bowl. “I don’t know how much longer we can take that… at some point, we’re going to lose our patience.” He added, “They look like they haven’t had a meal in a month… They’ve aged 25 years. They literally look like the old pictures of Holocaust survivors. No reason for that.”
“I know we have a deal… they dribble in and keep dribbling in… but they are in really bad shape,” Trump said about the Israeli hostages.
Or Levy, Ohad Ben Ami, and Eli Sharabi appeared frail with sunken faces upon their release Saturday, drawing widespread concern on social media and from Israeli officials.
“The images don’t lie,” said Israeli Foreign Minister Sa’ar, stating they looked like “Holocaust survivors” and were the only ones who “clearly appear to have suffered from starvation.”
Israeli President Isaac Herzog stated, “This is what a crime against humanity looks like!”
