The President-elect has sent his message urbi et orbi: Hamas must free all the hostages it holds before Trump takes office on January 20, or THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY. More on his warning can be found here: “Trump warns ‘all hell to pay’ if Gaza hostages not released by Inauguration Day,” by Hannah Sarisohn, Jerusalem Post, December 2, 2024:
President-elect Donald Trump took to his platform Truth Social on Monday afternoon following the IDF’s confirmation that Hamas killed American-Israeli Omer Neutra on October 7 and has held his body hostage since.
Trump did not mention Neutra by name but wrote that “everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East – But it’s all talk and no action!”
Trump continued, saying, “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.”
Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the “long and storied History of the United States of America,” Trump wrote.
“RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!” he said.
Former Governor Mike Huckabee, who was nominated as the next US Ambassador in Israel in early November, reiterated Trump’s statement on Tuesday overnight.
“There must be serious consequences for holding any hostage,” emphasized Huckabee, adding, “America needs to exact severe consequences for kidnapping and murdering AMERICAN hostages,” he wrote in a post on X/Twitter….
What must Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and others in Gaza, some of them not members of a group but acting on their own, Gazans who just wanted to enjoy the services of an Israeli slave or sex slave for as long as possible, now be thinking? Trump is scary. He is an unswerving supporter of those Zionists. And he might just do now what he threatens to do, if those hostages are not released by the time he takes office. Remember, he promised to move the American Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and he did it. He promised to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and he did it. Now he wants those hostages freed before he takes office, or there will be “HELL TO PAY.” What can that “HELL TO PAY” mean? Might he support an Israeli plan to cut Gaza in two, and station IDF troops all long the new east-to-west boundary line? Or might he support an Israeli effort to take over, permanently, a swathe of northern Gaza? There is no telling what Donald Trump might do if those hostages are not released by January 20. There’s a new sheriff in town who means business. Time to hand over those hostages, PDQ.
Sorry Ham-A** but Next Month/Next Year your Puppet(Biden)will no longer be there so you wont to able to pull his strings to make him Dance for you
Biden did pretty much what he would do to release the hostages . Now we will see what Trump will do , And why he was elected president of the most powerful country on earth
I think i can tell what Trump and Israel will do ? Gaza is in Israel . I can think of no reason to leave a independent Terrorist state inside the borders of Israel . I suggest Israel completely control Gaza , schools , police , courts and all governments laws and functions .. Just exactly like they do in the rest of Israel . The Gazan Arabs can leave if the wish or they can stay and be happy like the other Arabs that live in Israel .
Double-edged sword which would imply deportation, citizenship or weird non-voting status for 2 million Gazans, so probably unworkable.
Make that *Hell On Earth to pay.
(Hamas has already had its ticket punched for eternal damnation.)
Remember when Iran took our embassy and held a whole lot of American hostages for a very long time? They let them go THE DAY BEFORE REAGAN TOOK OFFICE, because they knew what would happen if they didn’t.
Same thing here.
Not so fast , Reagan also contacted the Iranians and offered Iran some weapons if they would hold the hostages until he was elected … I think this was a dirty deal for Jimmy Carter and may even have been treason . If what i say is true So even our greatest leaders are still sinners
It is so refreshing to see a man who knows how to use power against injustice. Trump has many tools in his shed to make the despicable group of Barbarians accountable for their violence. What these terrorists did on October 7 cannot be allowed to go unpunished by America. They boldly destroyed the most innocent of all, babies and the elderly and they owe a debt to humanity. Few leaders have the courage to stand against their brutality. Trump has never hesitated to fully support Israel as he should.
Hamas should be very afraid of Trump, who carries a sword and knows exactly how to use it…are you hearing this loud and clear Khamenai in Iran???? Good, just want you to be clear about hell to pay. and your other nefarious proxies well we know them too!
Yes a new sheriff indeed!!!
I see comments that were made at 9:30 that have been approved my comments wait for moderation 3 or 4 hours still waiting for moderation or is this censorship ?
DEATH TO HAMAS. Forthwith
I’m kind of hoping the hostages aren’t released before Jan 20 just so President Trump can make an example of Hamas for the world to see. Setting presidency early on is important.
I doubt you will get your By Jan 20th Israel will have pounded Hamas so hard there won’t be anything left for Trump .
