New Delhi, Oct. 14 -- United States President Donald Trump urged Hamas Tuesday, October 14, to release the remaining bodies of dead hostages, saying the step was needed to move on to the next phase of the US-backed Gaza deal.

Donald Trump also announced the beginning of phase two of the Gaza deal, as Israel delays aid and Hamas tightened its grip on the enclave - but he also asserted that he was feeling about the deal.

In a post on Truth Social, Donald Trump said, "ALL TWENTY HOSTAGES ARE BACK AND FEELING AS GOOD AS CAN BE EXPECTED. A big burden has been lifted, but the job IS NOT DONE. THE DEAD HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED, AS PROMISED! Phase Two begins right NOW!!!"
