Trump Furious Over Non-Release of Israeli Hostages, Threatens to Turn Middle East Into a ‘Hell’
Washington:
Newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning, threatening to turn the Middle East into a “hell” if Israeli hostages are not released.
Trump stated that if the hostages are not freed before his inauguration on January 20, decisive action will be taken.
In a statement shared on the social media platform “Truth Social,” Trump condemned those committing these atrocities against humanity, warning that they would face serious consequences. He further asserted that his administration would set a precedent with its response, unlike anything seen in U.S. history.
This warning has raised concerns about escalating tensions between Israel and Hamas.
Previously, Hamas claimed that during the 14-month conflict, 33 hostages had been killed, while many others remained missing. Hamas also urged Israel to act swiftly regarding the hostages, cautioning that further delays would have severe consequences.
The Israeli government has yet to provide an official response regarding the hostages, but the situation has heightened political tensions in the region. Trump’s remarks have added a new layer of complexity to the prospects of international negotiations between Israel and Hamas.
