Former US President Donald Trump recently made a statement in which he warned that if Hamas does not release the Israeli hostages held by it, it could have disastrous consequences. Trump’s statement has created a stir on the international level and has given rise to a new discussion on the Israel-Hamas dispute. Trump card played before oath.
According to sources, newly elected US President Donald Trump on Monday warned that if the hostages held in the Gaza Strip are not released before January 20, 2025, then serious consequences can be seen in the Middle East. The dispute between Hamas and Israel has become even more violent. There have also been reports of civilians and soldiers being taken hostage, including many Israelis.
Taking a tough stand, Trump said, If the hostages are not released by the stipulated time, the US will take action, and this action will be such that has never been seen in history. Those committing such a crime against humanity will be given the harshest punishment. He also clarified that the US will not tolerate any laxity on this issue.
More than 250 people were taken hostage after the Hamas attack in October 2023. This also includes a large number of Israeli-American citizens and soldiers. The number of foreign and Israeli hostages in Gaza is currently estimated at over 100. Recently, Hamas revealed the deaths of 33 of the captives held in Gaza but did not give any information about their nationality. According to current estimates, about half of the 101 foreign and Israeli hostages are alive.
The Hamas militant group has demanded an end to the war with Israel and a total withdrawal from Gaza in exchange for the release of its hostages. In contrast, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that the war will continue until Hamas is destroyed. The situation is heating up, with global leaders calling for calm as the Israel-Hamas conflict escalates, keeping everyone on edge.
