Return of Trump gives families of Gaza hostages new hope
Fox News
Moshe Emilio Lavi, whose brother-in-law Omri Miran was taken hostage by Hamas last year, says families have new hope with President-elect Trump set to take over the White House.
… the Trump administration’s track record of a transactional approach to diplomacy, paired with a hardline stance on Iran and an unapologetic alliance with Israel, creates a different dynamic. Moshe Emilio Lavi's brother-in-law, Omri Miran, was taken hostage by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023
The situation is complex, but at its heart, the release of the hostages hinges on one thing: leverage. For a deal to happen, Israel must feel secure enough to make compromises, Hamas and its backers must feel compelled to negotiate, and the United States must be the guarantor of a credible path forward. Republican-controlled executive and legislative branches may have the tools, relationships, and political capital to make this happen, and there are already signs of a (cautious) change emerging from the talks in Cairo between Egypt and Hamas.
