While fielding questions from reporters, US President Donald Trump is also asked about freed hostages’ concerns that Israel’s offensive in Gaza City could endanger the lives of captives still held by Palestinian terrorists in the enclave.
“They might be [at greater risk]. They also may be freed because of that,” he says. “War, a lot of strange things happen. A lot of results take place that you never think were going to happen.”
