Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump has issued a stern warning to Hamas, declaring that their time is running out unless they immediately release all hostages and return the bodies of those killed. Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Trump made it clear that any delay in compliance would bring dire repercussions.
“Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose. Release all of the hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted!” Trump wrote in his fiery statement.
He further vowed unwavering support for Israel, stating, “I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job. Not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say.”
Trump also revealed that he had met with former hostages who had suffered under Hamas’ captivity, reinforcing his resolve to see justice served. Directly addressing Hamas’ leadership, he issued a stark ultimatum: “Now is the time to leave Gaza while you still have a chance.”
In a chilling message to the people of Gaza, Trump offered a glimpse of hope but with a grave warning. “A beautiful future awaits, but not if you hold hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!”
His statement has sparked intense reactions globally, with some praising his hardline stance and others warning of escalating tensions in the already volatile region. As the crisis unfolds, all eyes remain on Hamas’ next move—and whether they will heed the former president’s warning.
