US President-elect Donald Trump has issued a warning to Hamas, urging them to release the 100 hostages they are holding in the Gaza Strip. Trump stated that if the hostages are not returned by the time he assumes office on January 20, there will be consequences. He made these comments in a post on his Truth Social platform last month. Trump and his team are currently working to secure the release of the hostages, with the families of American hostages meeting with National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan to emphasize the need for coordination between President Joe Biden and Trump's team.
