Trump Issues Ultimatum to Hamas Over Hostages

News summary

President-elect Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Hamas, demanding the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza before his inauguration on January 20, 2025, or face severe consequences, implying potential military action. This follows the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas militants that resulted in over 1,200 deaths and around 250 hostages taken, with approximately 100 still in captivity. Trump's statement marks his most direct involvement in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict since his election, and he has expressed intentions to resolve multiple global crises upon assuming office. Israeli officials have yet to comment on Trump's statement, though Israeli President Isaac Herzog expressed gratitude for Trump's support. Meanwhile, Hamas has linked the hostages' release to Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, a demand Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected.
