‘Hell will breakout if hostages are not release’ – Donald Trump sends final warning to Hamas

According to Newsmax, President-elect Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Hamas, demanding the release of American hostages before his January 20 inauguration. Speaking at a press conference, Trump declared, “All hell will break out” if the hostages remain captive, emphasizing the urgency for action under the current Biden administration.

“I’ll just say it again: If this deal’s not done – to the people representing our nation – by the time I get to office, all hell is going to break out,” Trump stated before ending the hour-long session.

Steve Witkoff, Trump’s Middle East special envoy designee, joined the press briefing, signaling ongoing efforts to negotiate the hostages’ release. Witkoff expressed optimism but reinforced Trump’s message of impending consequences. “I think they [Hamas] heard him loud and clear: Better get done by the inaugural,” he said.

Trump condemned Hamas for the October 7 attack on Israel and reiterated his support for Israel’s right to defend itself against regional threats. “They should have never taken them; there should have never been the attack,” he said, lamenting the lives lost.

Witkoff, set to return to Doha for negotiations, affirmed the administration’s commitment to resolving the crisis. “Steve’s got a job to do,” Trump added. “He’s a great guy, great negotiator, great person.”

The incoming administration’s tough rhetoric underscores Trump’s longstanding alignment with Israel and his focus on securing the release of American citizens.
