President-elect Donald J. Trump warned that if hostages held by Hamas are not released by Inauguration Day, 'all hell will break out in the Middle East,' a comment he reiterated multiple times during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago.
Specific details regarding potential actions against Hamas were not provided by Trump, but he strongly criticized the group's actions on October 7, 2023, and emphasized that the hostages should have never been taken.
Despite Trump's confident assertion that his threats would compel Hamas to release the hostages, experts expressed confusion over the effectiveness and implications of such threats in the complex Middle Eastern context.
