Amnesty condemns Trump over genocidal rhetoric’

Mr Trump demanded on his Truth Social platform Wednesday night that Hamas "release all of the hostages not later”, including the remains of hostages, “or it is OVER for you”. The US president added: “Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision.”

The comments came as the initial stage of a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war expired over the weekend. Israel has since imposed a blockade on goods entering Gaza, demanding that Hamas release the remaining hostages.

The war began in the wake of a Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and another 251 people taken hostage. Israel’s 16-month retaliatory offensive has killed more than 48,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

Reacting to Mr Trump’s latest comments, Amnesty International condemned his threats to Gaza, comparing it to the “genocidal rhetoric” from Israeli politicians and the military.
