WATCH: ‘I know what I’d do,’ says Trump on Hamas stalling negotiations

President Trump weighed in on the ongoing hostage negotiations with Hamas, stating the terror group will never release all the hostages, as it would amount to signing their own death warrant.

He hinted at how he would respond but declined to elaborate, saying Israel would take the lead.
