All living hostages were released as part of a deal that President Donald Trump helped to broker, but Trump noted in a post on Truth Social that the bodies of the dead must also be returned.
“ALL TWENTY HOSTAGES ARE BACK AND FEELING AS GOOD AS CAN BE EXPECTED. A big burden has been lifted, but the job IS NOT DONE. THE DEAD HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED, AS PROMISED! Phase Two begins right NOW!!!” he asserted in the post on Tuesday.
