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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The president-elect's threat sounds typically dramatic, but Donald Trump has few practical options if Hamas and Israel remain at loggerheads over the hostages still held by the Iran-backed militant group.

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.
