**Trump Says Fewer Than 20 Hostages Still Alive; Gaza City Operation May Save Them**
When asked about the Gaza City expansion and its impact on the hostages, former US President Donald Trump responded, “They might be [at greater risk]. They also may be freed because of that.”
Trump spoke on the matter last week at the White House, addressing concerns related to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
The timing of his Gaza plan announcement has raised questions regarding its implications for the safe return of the hostages, with some observers cautioning about potential risks involved.
