Mike Waltz, the incoming National Security Advisor under President-elect Donald Trump, emphasized a strong stance against hostage-taking by foreign entities during a recent interview. He stated that the defeat of Iran and its proxies is attributed to the leadership of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Waltz warned that any nation-state or terrorist organization that detains Americans will face severe consequences, declaring, 'There is going to be all hell to pay!' He also noted that Hamas has no option but to release hostages if they wish to survive. Waltz highlighted the impact of Netanyahu's strategies against Hezbollah, suggesting that they could inspire a future film. Additionally, he pledged that foreign spying would be met with offensive measures, reinforcing a commitment to reestablish deterrence for any threats against American citizens.
