Rubio: Hostage Release Must Come Before Gaza Peace Talks Advance

                                            US Secretary of State Marco Rubio

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday that the war in Gaza is “not yet” over, stressing that the immediate priority is securing the release of hostages held by Hamas. Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, Rubio explained that Hamas had “basically” agreed to the framework of President Donald Trump’s proposal, which outlines the first phase of a deal focused on freeing captives in exchange for Israel pulling back to positions it held in Gaza earlier this year.

Rubio cautioned, however, that the process remains uncertain. “No one can tell you it’s a 100 percent guarantee,” he said, noting that technical talks underway will quickly reveal whether Hamas is serious about following through.

The Secretary of State described the next stage—establishing a non-Hamas Palestinian leadership and ensuring militant groups are disarmed—as “even harder.” He emphasized that without such steps, lasting peace in the region will remain elusive.

The comments come as negotiators prepare for further discussions in Egypt, amid ongoing Israeli strikes and mounting humanitarian concerns in Gaza. While the hostage deal is seen as the most immediate breakthrough, Rubio underscored that the broader challenge of Gaza’s future governance still lies ahead.
