Trump Demands Hostage Release, Threatens Hamas with Historic Attack

Share

President-elect Donald Trump (R) has sent a stern message to Hamas and all other terrorist organizations demanding the hostages from the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel be released before he assumes office on January 20.

In a social media post on Truth Social, President-elect Trump said the conversations surrounding the hostages have been “all talk, and no action” and that there will be repercussions if they are not returned by the start of his second and final term.

“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 said. “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.”

The former president added that “those responsible” will be historically hit by the United States.

“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!” concluded Trump.

Moreover, Trump recently appointed Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister as the next Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) administrator. He will need to be confirmed by the Senate.

This move from President-elect Trump appears to be reinforcing a pattern as a large amount of his cabinet positions have come from the State of Florida, such as Senator Marco Rubio (Secretary of State), Representative Mike Waltz (National Security Advisor), and Pam Bondi (Attorney General) among others.

Trump said the following about Sheriff Chronister on Saturday:

"I am pleased to nominate Sheriff Chad Chronister for Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). For over 32 years, Sheriff Chad Chronister has served the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, and received countless commendations and awards for keeping his community SAFE," Trump said.

Donald Trump will be inaugurated for the second time on January 20.
