America’s newly elected President Donald Trump has started showing his tough attitude even before his swearing-in. Now he warned Hamas that if the hostages in the Gaza Strip are not released by the time he takes office, then it will have to face serious consequences. This threat has come from Trump after extensive diplomacy by the administration of outgoing President Joe Biden.
Trump wrote on his Truth social platform, if the hostages are not released before January 20, 2025, the day I proudly take office as President of the United States, there will be a great punishment in the Middle East and for those in charge who committed these human atrocities.
Trump further wrote, those responsible will be attacked more than anyone has been attacked in the long and storied history of the United States. Release the hostages now!”
Trump has vowed staunch support for Israel and to stay away from criticism of Biden, but has also spoken of his desire to secure deals on the world stage.
For information, let us tell you that Hamas carried out the deadliest attack on Israel so far on October 7, 2023. According to Israeli official figures, the attack killed 1,208 people, mostly civilians. At the same time, Hamas demands that the Israeli army leave Gaza. He is demanding the release of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for hostages. On Hamas’ demand, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the war will continue until Hamas is completely eliminated.
The situation in the Gaza Strip has reached a dire level. Infrastructure has been destroyed and most of the population has been displaced. Millions of people have been forced to leave their homes due to Israeli military action. The war has caused a decline in Gaza’s health infrastructure and living conditions. There has been a deep impact on the US dollar.
Earlier, Donald Trump had threatened the countries of the world about tariffs. Trump had said that if BRICS (a group of developing countries like Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) countries tried to replace the US dollar, then 100% tariff would be imposed on them.
