Trump Ultimatum to Hamas: 'Hell to Pay' if Hostages Not Released by January 20, 2025; 'RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW'
Dec 8, 2024, 04:28 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has issued a strong ultimatum regarding the release of hostages held by Hamas, stating that there will be 'hell to pay' if they are not freed before his inauguration on January 20, 2025. Trump emphasized the urgency of the situation, declaring, 'RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!' during a recent statement. His remarks have garnered support from commentators, with Sasha Toperich arguing that President Biden should leverage Trump's position to pressure Hamas for a prompt release. Additionally, Adam Boehler, the nominee for Hostage Affairs, criticized the Biden administration's approach, suggesting that if they had collaborated with Israel from the outset, the hostage situation might have been avoided. Trump also expressed skepticism about the fate of the hostages, indicating a grim view of their treatment and urging Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to achieve a decisive victory in the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
