President-elect Donald Trump issued a strong warning to Hamas, addressing the terrorists holding hostages in the Gaza Strip. He emphasized that if the hostages are not released before his inauguration on January 20, severe repercussions will follow.
On his social media platform, Trump wrote: "Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East - But it's all talk, and no action!"
He continued: "Please let this truth serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be all hell to pay in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity.
Trump added: "Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. Release the hostages now!"
The dramatic statement comes following an announcement by the IDF spokesperson regarding the death of Omri Neutra, who was killed in combat on October 7 and subsequently abducted to Gaza by the terrorist organization.
