US President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Hamas will face "retribution from hell" if the Palestinian movement does not unilaterally release Israeli prisoners before his inauguration on January 20, 2025.
"If the Israeli hostages are not released by January 20, 2025, the day I proudly assume the office of President of the United States, hell will break out in the Middle East, and those responsible for these atrocities against humanity will have to pay for it," emphasized Trump, whose speech is transmitted by the Associated Press.
He also added that those responsible for the crimes in Gaza would "suffer greatly" and called for the release of the prisoners "right now."
