It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” the president-elect warned during a press conference in Mar-a-Lago Tuesday.

The president-elect did not elaborate on what actions he might take if the captives are not released by the time he takes office.

Hamas stood by its demand on Tuesday that Israel fully end its assault on Gaza under any deal to release hostages, and said U.S. President-elect Donald Trump was rash to say there would be "hell to pay" unless they go free by his Jan.

President-elect Donald Trump warned that if the hostages whom Hamas is still holding in Gaza are not released by his inauguration on January 20, “all hell will break out in the Middle East” – offering one more stark indication of how much the incoming president would prefer to avoid inheriting the Israel-Hamas war as he prepares to take office in less than two weeks.

Donald Trump threatened to unleash “hell” if the Hamas hostages are not released soon, as Biden officials note “constructive” discussions with the transition team.

US President-elect Donald Trump, in a staunch warning, on Tuesday said “all hell will break out in the Middle East” if Hamas does not release the hostages it is holding in Gaza before his inauguration on January 20.

President-elect Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff said on Tuesday he hopes to have good things to report about hostages held by Hamas in Gaza by the time Trump is sworn in as U.S. president on Jan.

Officials say about 100 hostages, including some Americans, who were seized on October 7, 2023, remain captive in Gaza, though they believe many of them may have died in captivity.

Whatever restraints once existed on Israel’s behavior are long gone. Benjamin Netanyahu is now setting his sights on Iran — the question is to what extent President Donald Trump will back him.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's aides with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have spoken with staffers at more than a dozen federal agencies to begin preliminary interviews, The Washington Post reported on Friday.

As president-elect vows 'hell will break loose' if Hamas doesn't free captives by January 20, analysts question whether tough talk alone can deliver results without a concrete plan.
