Trump: Patience with Hamas running out, freed hostages ‘looked like Holocaust survivors’

The Times of Israel reports: “US President Donald Trump said Sunday that the three Israeli hostages who were released by Hamas a day earlier looking gaunt and frail resembled Jews under Nazi Germany, and warned that ‘at some point, we’re gonna lose our patience.’

Eli Sharabi, Or Levy and Ohad Ben Ami ‘looked like Holocaust survivors,’ Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on his way to New Orleans to attend the Super Bowl. ‘They were in horrible condition, they were emaciated… and I don’t know how much longer we can take that.’

He went on to say the trio ‘look like they haven’t had a meal in a month,’ and that they are ‘people that were healthy people a reasonably short number of years ago, and you look at them today, they look like they’ve aged 25 years, they literally look like the old pictures of Holocaust survivors, the same thing. No reason for that.’

Trump noted that according to the current ceasefire and hostage deal, captives are supposed to ‘keep drippling in,’ but added: ‘They are in really bad shape, they have been treated brutally, horribly. Even the ones that came out earlier, they were in a little bit better shape, but mentally they were treated so badly. Who could take that?’

‘You know, at some point, we’re gonna lose our patience.’…”
