President-elect Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Hamas, demanding the immediate release of hostages held by the terrorist group. In a video message, Trump made it clear that he expects the hostages to be released by the time he takes office.
“If they have any instinct for self-preservation, Iran and Hamas should be monitoring President-elect Donald Trump’s message,” Trump declared.
The hostages, whose identities and nationalities have not been disclosed, are believed to be held captive by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Trump’s warning comes amidst escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, with Trump vowing to take a hardline stance on Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
While Trump did not specify any consequences for Hamas if the hostages are not released by the time he assumes office, his strong rhetoric underscores his commitment to securing the safe return of American citizens held captive abroad.
As the world watches and waits to see how Iran and Hamas will respond to Trump’s ultimatum, one thing is certain: the incoming President is not afraid to take bold and decisive action when it comes to protecting American interests.
