Hostage's relative says there's 'no question where Trump stands' after Hamas warning

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

 issued a strident warning to Hamas during his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention Thursday, promising the terror group would pay "a very big price" if the captives were not freed.
That sounds blunt rather than strident to me, but I’m not a professional wordsmith.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken
...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...

 and Egypt are "inside the 10-yard line and driving toward the goal line" of an agreement that would including returning the hostages.

"There remains some issues that need to be resolved, that need to be negotiated,"
…like whether or not Israel is allowed to defend itself, and whether or not Hamas will be in charge after all this is over — minor questions, indeed…
Blinken said at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado. "We’re in the midst of doing exactly that."
