Donald Trump just threaten Hamas….
He wants the Hostages held by Hamas released by his first day in office… ‘or there will be hell to pay?!’
Does THAT mean the American military JOINS with Israeli’s in bombing Gaza?…..
Something that would probably go over like a lead ballon in the Middele East and World Wide….
Israel and Hezbollah are still doing limited strikes at each other during the ‘cease-fire’ time….
President-elect Donald J. Trump on Monday demanded that the hostages taken in the Hamas-led attack on Israel be released from Gaza before his inauguration in January, or there will be “hell to pay” in the Middle East for those responsible.
Writing on Truth Social, and without naming any militant group, Mr. Trump said in his post: “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. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!”
About 250 hostages were captured in the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct, 7, 2023, and about 100 of them remain in Gaza, with about a third believed to be dead, according to the Israeli authorities….

In Gaza ?
Israel HAS been pursuing a quiet goal….
To LEVEL the connection between Southern and Northern Gaza…making it in hospialble and set up Israeli Military bases controling the area…
Essentially annexing the area FOR Israel to use as a no man’s zone Hamas cannot hide in. and cross into the South…
The Israeli military has been expanding its presence in central Gaza in recent months, fortifying military bases and demolishing Palestinian buildings, according to Israeli officials and satellite images, a move that suggests that it may be preparing to exert long-term control over the area.
Since the early months of the war in Gaza, Israeli forces have occupied a four-mile road, known as the Netzarim corridor, that bisects the enclave, to keep hundreds of thousands of displaced Gazans from returning north. That has slowly grown into an 18-square-mile block of territory controlled by Israeli forces, according to the Israeli military and a New York Times analysis of satellite images and video footage.
Over the past three months, soldiers have demolished more than 600 buildings around the road in an apparent attempt to create a buffer zone. They have also rapidly expanded a network of outposts equipped with communications towers and defensive fortifications.
The buildup suggests a shift for Israel, which had largely avoided holding Gazan territory, creating a vacuum that has allowed Hamas to reassert control in some parts of Gaza. The military said that the expansion was for operational reasons.
The expansion has also raised speculation about Israel’s plans for Gaza’s future. Israelis leaders have vowed to maintain security control in Gaza even after the war, without saying clearly what that might entail….

Israeli operations in Lebanon have defeated Hezbollah and compelled the group to end its involvement in the October 7 War. On November 26, Israel and Hezbollah reached a ceasefire deal that ended Hezbollah’s attacks into Israel and required the group to disarm in southern Lebanon. These conditions achieve the stated Israeli war aim of safely returning displaced citizens to their homes in northern Israel. The ceasefire ensures the Israeli right to self-defense against any future threat that Hezbollah may pose as well.
