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.

Well those that are left; odds are dead.
No kidding.
Did it take a genius to figure that out?
What I was looking for was more than one meaning.
Why do you need me to spell it out for you?
Meanwhile obama and Biden have given Iran and the terrorists billions and denied Israel weapons to defeat the enemy.
Who? The British? Hardly, the Royal Navy swept the US Navy off the seas and was able to freely range up and down our coasts and land armies wherever they pleased. Luckily for us, they were kinda busy fighting some little French guy.
Considering that the US participated in the firebombing of Dresden and dropped nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, that's quite a threat or promise, whichever you call it.
I’m glad you mentioned that! I’m going to post a thank you to George Washington now.
