Trump Issues Warning Over Hamas Hostages

President-elect Donald Trump has issued a stark warning that 'all hell will break out' in the Middle East if Hamas does not release Israeli hostages by his inauguration on January 20. Speaking at a press conference in Mar-a-Lago, he emphasized that failure to secure their release would have severe consequences for Hamas and the region. Trump's comments come amid ongoing negotiations, with his Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, expressing optimism about progress being made in talks in Doha. However, the situation remains tense, as nearly 100 hostages are still believed to be held in Gaza. Hamas has indicated that it will only release hostages if Israel agrees to cease hostilities and withdraw troops, complicating the negotiation dynamics. The urgency of the matter has heightened as the outgoing administration pushes for a resolution before the transition of power.
