U.S President-elect Donald Trump threatened Hamas with decisive action if the group, considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the EU, does not release the hostages it took during its attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, before he takes office.
Trump specified that if "the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the day 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."
