Father of Hamas hostage: Let Trump close deal of the century

The hostages held by Hamas since Oct. 7, 2023 are starting to travel home, and it’s been a origin for solemnisation successful Israel. Even earlier the inauguration, the Trump medication took the reins of driving a hostage woody and keeping unit connected the parties to support the releases connected schedule. For that, they person the gratitude of an full nation.

But determination is overmuch enactment near to do.

My son, Itay, a U.S. citizen, was not connected the database of those being released successful the archetypal signifier of the deal. With the posturing and nationalist statements from some sides claiming victory, coupled with the uncertainty surrounding the 2nd signifier of the deal, galore hostage families similar excavation are acrophobic that it could collapse.

After astir 500 days, each of the hostages’ families commune for a model with a clear, elaborate process regarding however each past hostage, dormant oregon alive, would beryllium released. We rejoice with the families of the hostages but are besides envious, asking erstwhile volition we beryllium reunited with our household members?

Even today, aft the woody has been partially implemented, determination is inactive uncertainty that the woody volition travel to fruition. Over 30 hostages person been murdered successful captivity since Oct. 7, and the bodies of the deceased hostages, acceptable to beryllium returned lone successful the consequent phases of the deal, whitethorn beryllium mislaid forever. No household deserves to unrecorded without a spot to mourn their loved ones.

Because President Trump is simply a skilled dealmaker and has appointed radical with akin skillsets, specified arsenic Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff, I would similar to supply my thoughts successful concern presumption connected the pathway to seal the Deal of the Century.

Before becoming the begetter of a U.S. hostage, I worked arsenic a mergers and acquisitions dealmaker, and indeed, I find the existent concern highly akin to the M&A process. In an acquisition, 2 sides negociate for an extended play of clip to scope the archetypal signifier of the deal, commonly known arsenic the signing date. The signing day details however the parties volition proceed to negociate to get to the "closing" day successful bully religion and delineates the invaluable assets needed to beryllium held successful escrow to guarantee that specified a woody is so reached. Similarly, it is imperative that the U.S. and Qatar negotiators request that some sides enactment invaluable assets into "escrow" and perpetually make caller leverage points truthful that failing to finalize the woody would beryllium excessively costly for either side.
