NEW YORK — President-elect Donald Trump is demanding the immediate release of the Israeli hostages still being held in Gaza, saying that if they are not freed before he is sworn into office there will be “HELL TO PAY.”
“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,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social site.
He added that, “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!”
The war in Gaza began when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking around 250 people hostage on Oct. 7, 2023.
Trump’s threat came hours after the Israeli government confirmed the death of Omer Neutra, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, whose body is still believed to be held by Hamas in Gaza, according to the Israeli government.
Days earlier, Hamas released a hostage video of Edan Alexander, who was serving in the Israeli military when he was taken by Hamas to Gaza. Filmed under apparent duress, Alexander calls on Trump to work to negotiate for his freedom and that of the remaining Hamas hostages.

You might be going off topic.
Trump should say the same thing about the J6 hostages. Trump should call them Pelosi’s hostages, or the Democrat hostages.
Just following your lead.
Maybe JD Vance should say, if anything happens to Trump, he will be like Trump on steroids.
Hamas paraded an Amwrican in front of the cameras to beg America and Trump for a deal. THEY MADE A HUGE MISTAKE BY THUMBING THIER NOSE AT US AND MAKING IT PERSONAL.
Rum, lash and sodomy. The English navy was not this bad in the 18th century.
What would that have to do with the Middle East?
Just like Reagan in 1980 with the 444 days held hostages in Iran. The minute he was inaugurated, they said...”gee. we’re sorry. here they are”
Yep, JACKSONIAN FORIEGN POLICY.
Me, too!
Ronald Reagan gave 300 million people their freedom and ended the cold war.
He defeated communism and everyone said that could never be done.
He took a beaten and battered and sinking US and brought it back to life so Trump would HAVE something to save 40 years later.
Maybe it’s a tie for 2nd
Remember, Trump’s messaging is not limited to face value.
In the name of justice, the WTC attacks might have to be revisited.
It worked for Reagan but current Hamas leadership is much stupider than Arafat.
We wete able to fight them off when they wete at full strength,during the War of 1812, which is amazing.
Check out a dictionary.
Remember Isis??? You’re next.
I was being dumb a**. I read the thread headline and not the story with J6 hostages in mind
Back to my Ohio State/Bengals/Bearcats coma.
The Country has been pleading for a President like Donald J Trump!!!!!
STAY THE COURSE Mr. President
Americans want their Country back from the deep state globalists!
