Vice President-elect JD Vance said he believes a deal to release hostages held by Hamas in Gaza could be struck before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House in a week.
The signal comes as Trump has escalated threats against Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist group, to agree to a hostage deal before his Jan. 20 inauguration or face consequences.
¡°We¡¯re hopeful there¡¯s going to be a deal that¡¯s struck towards the very end of Biden¡¯s administration, maybe the last day or two,¡± Vance said, speaking on Fox News Sunday.
