"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," Trump's post said.
President-elect Donald Trump took to his platform Truth Social on Monday afternoon following the IDF's confirmation that Hamas killed American-Israeli Omer Neutra on October 7 and has held his body hostage since.
Trump did not mention Neutra by name but wrote that "everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East - But it’s all talk and no action!"
Trump continued, saying, "Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that 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."
Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the "long and storied History of the United States of America," Trump wrote.
"RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!" he said.
Former Governor Mike Huckabee, who was nominated as the next US Ambassador in Israel in early November, reiterated Trump's statement on Tuesday overnight.
