US president warns Hamas that there would be ‘hell to pay’ if Israeli captives in Gaza are not released immediately.
Washington, DC – United States President Donald Trump has issued a threat to Hamas and the people of Gaza as part of a demand to release all Israeli captives in the territory.
In a social media post on Wednesday, Trump renewed his warning that there would be “hell to pay” if the captives are not released.
“This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance,” Trump wrote.
“Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision.”
The president’s comment came hours after the White House confirmed that Washington is engaging in talks with Hamas.
