(Worthy News) – President-elect Donald Trump warned that Hamas would face severe consequences if the hostages taken on October 7 are not released before he takes office in January.
Trump issued the warning to Hamas through TruthSocial, stating, “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.”
“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!” he warned.
Trump’s statement came after the IDF confirmed that Captain Omer Neutra, an Israeli American soldier believed to have been held hostage since the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack, was killed, with his body still being held by Hamas.
Neutra, a Long Island native and tank commander in the 7th Armored Brigade’s 77th Battalion, was killed during Hamas’ infiltration of Israeli communities near the Gaza border. His death was confirmed by the IDF chief rabbi after a thorough review of evidence and reliable military information.
