Trump repeated his warning to Hamas: the “gates of hell” will open if they do not free the hostages they are holding by his Inauguration.

Donald Trump repeated his warning to Hamas: the “gates of hell” will open if they do not free the hostages they are still holding by his Inauguration on January 20, the President-elect told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday.

The Iran-backed Palestinian terrorist group took roughly 250 hostages from Israel during the October 7, 2023 terror attack. Over 100 — mostly women and children — were freed during a truce in November 2023, which Hamas broke.

Further negotiations, overseen by the Biden-Harris administration, have gone nowhere. Secretary of State Antony Blinken admitted recently that pressure on Israel had encouraged Hamas to pull back from potential hostage deals.

Trump wrote in early December that there would be “ALL HELL TO PAY” if Hamas did not free the hostages. He repeated that warning on New Year’s Eve at Mar-a-Lago, and again on Monday. He said that his warning, unlike President Biden’s infamous “don’t” to Iran and Hezbollah in October 2023, would actually be followed through:
