United States President-elect Donald Trump issued a warning concerning the hostages held by Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip by declaring that there would be severe consequences in the Middle East if these captives are not freed before his inauguration, scheduled for January 20, 2025.
“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 the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against humanity,” Trump wrote in Truth Social.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that the attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, which ignited the current conflict in the Gaza Strip and heightened tensions throughout the Middle East, would not have occurred if he had been in office. He also promised to bring the war to an end before he is sworn in.
