President Trump issued a public warning to the Hamas terror group Wednesday that he is “sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job” and urged them to release all remaining hostages immediately “OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!”
“‘Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose,” the president wrote on Truth Social after meeting with more than half a dozen freed hostages in the Oval Office Wednesday. “Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted!”
Hours earlier, the White House confirmed that administration officials had been holding direct talks with Hamas to secure the release of at least some hostages.
At least one American citizen hostage — Edan Alexander, 21 — is believed to remain alive following the abductions that took place during Hamas terrorists’ Oct. 7, 2023, rampage that triggered Israel’s invasion, which halted with a cease-fire agreement in January.
