The terrorist group Hamas must free the captives that it seized during its unprecedented terrorist attack against Israel on October 7 before Inauguration Day, according to statements made by President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday.
If this does not happen, “all hell will break out” in the region, Trump further stated.
“If those hostages aren’t back… if they’re not back by the time I get into office, all hell will break out in the Middle East. And it will not be good for Hamas and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone.” Trump remarked.

In response to a question regarding the matter, President Trump issued the threat against the terrorist organization that is supported by Iran during a news conference held at Mar-a-Lago.
Iran, which has supported Hamas and is already facing Trump’s anger for its intensified terrorist actions, including alleged efforts to assassinate Trump, is likely the target of Trump’s use of the word “anyone.”
“All hell will break out. I don’t have to say anymore, but that’s what it is. And they should have given them back a long time ago, they should have never taken them. There should have never been the attack of October 7th, people forget that.” Trump concluded.
