“I would greatly appreciate the release of these women,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Would be a great start to our negotiations!”

Trump’s statement accompanied a re-posting of a claim on X by a pro-Israel youth activist in the United States, Eyal Yakoby, that eight women faced death by hanging.

That claim, which did not give names but posted photographs of eight women, could not be immediately verified.
