Donald Trump Issues Ultimatum to Gaza Militants Over Hostages Before Swearing-In
United States of America President-elect, Donald Trump, has warned of severe consequences if Gaza militants fail to release hostages before his inauguration.
PulseNets learnt that Trump has vowed not to adopt the diplomatic approach utilized by outgoing President Joe Biden’s administration, which has yet to yield results.
The Biden administration has struggled to secure an agreement that would end Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza while ensuring the release of hostages abducted 14 months ago.
“If the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
“Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!”
Trump, who spoke to PulseNets through his social media account, reiterated his firm support for Israel. He emphasized his intention to abandon Biden’s occasional critiques of the Israeli government, while highlighting his ambition to negotiate significant international deals.

Meanwhile, Israel’s retaliatory strikes have claimed the lives of 44,429 people in Gaza, according to figures provided by the territory’s health ministry. The United Nations has deemed these statistics reliable.
