Washington | President Donald Trump on Sunday (Monday AEDT) said he was losing patience with the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas after seeing footage of the Palestinian militant group releasing Israeli hostages over the weekend, whose appearance he compared to Holocaust survivors.

Mr Trump’s reaction to seeing images of the three hostages, who appeared gaunt on their release on Saturday, brought fresh uncertainty over the deal’s fate before all remaining 76 hostages are freed, and came days after the president called for the removal of Palestinians from the territory and for the US to take control of it.
