Donald Trump's threat that 'all hell will break loose' if the Gaza hostages aren't released by his inauguration is losing its effectiveness as he has used similar language before. It is unclear what actions Trump has in mind if his threat doesn't work, and it is unlikely that he will allow aid deliveries to be withheld from Gaza. Taking action against Iran or Qatar could also have negative consequences. The phrase 'all hell will break loose' is commonly used by Trump to scare opponents, but its effectiveness is diminishing.
