President Donald Trump has aired a ‘last warning’ to Hamas to free hostages or see the US send Israel all it needs to ‘finish the job’.
Trump posted his chilling threat on Truth Social shortly after welcoming eight freed hostages to the Oval Office. His apparent willingness to give Israel a blank check stands in stark contrast to his decision to literally turn the tap off on aid to Ukraine amid peace negotiations.
‘”Shalom Hamas” means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose,’ wrote Trump late afternoon on Wednesday.
‘Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you.’

Trump continued that ‘only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted!’
‘I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say,’ he stated.
‘I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed. This is your last warning!’
Trump told the terrorist group’s leadership ‘now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance’.
‘Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD!’ he concluded.
‘Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!’
