All Hell Will Break Out If Hamas Hostages Are Not Released By Inauguration – Donald Trump Warns

US President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his warning that all hell will break loose in the Middle East if captives captured by Hamas in the Gaza Strip are not released before his January 20 inauguration.

“It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” Trump said during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. “All hell will break out. I don’t have to say anymore, but that’s what it is.”

Trump also reiterated his strong support for Israel and commitment to achieve regional peace, stating that the conflict had lasted “longer than people would understand.

“I have to add, I am also for peace, it’s time, this fight has been going on for too long,” he said, adding that he would try to end the war between Hamas and Israel, which began on Oct. 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas-led terrorists massacred approximately 1,200 Israeli residents and kidnapped more than 250 others.

At the same press conference, Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, stated that there has been significant progress in efforts to release approximately 100 hostages held in the Gaza Strip, and that he is hopeful that a solution would be reached before the inauguration.

Witkoff stated that he had recently returned from discussions on the hostage release arrangement in Doha, Qatar, and planned to return to the region later this week.

“I believe we’ve been on the verge of it. I don’t want to discuss sort of what’s delayed it,” he said.
