Donald Trump, the US President-elect has issued a stern warning to Gaza militants, urging them to release all hostages before his inauguration on January 20, 2025.
In a statement on his Truth Social platform, Donald Trump vowed to take a tougher stance than the outgoing Biden administration, which has failed to secure a deal to end the war in Gaza and free the hostages.
Trump’s warning comes as the Israel-Gaza conflict continues to escalate, with Israel’s retaliatory campaign resulting in the deaths of 44,429 people in Gaza, according to the territory’s health ministry.
The militants are still holding 97 people hostage in Gaza.
The President-elect has pledged unwavering support for Israel, while also expressing his desire to broker deals on the global stage.
Trump’s stance on the conflict is likely to have significant implications for the region, particularly given his reputation for taking a hardline approach to foreign policy.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas-led militant groups in Gaza has been ongoing since October 2023, with both sides suffering significant losses.
The war has also had far-reaching consequences, including the displacement of nearly 2 million Palestinians and widespread destruction of infrastructure in Gaza.
As the situation continues to deteriorate, Donald Trump’s warning to Gaza militants has added a new layer of complexity to the conflict.
It remains to be seen how the militants will respond to Trump’s ultimatum, and what consequences will follow if they fail to release the hostages.
