Hebrew news outlets are reporting that U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump is sending a clear warning to the Hamas terror group ahead of his swearing-in on January 20.
Neria Kraus, the Middle East correspondent for Channel 13 News, shared an interesting update on X, citing a senior Trump administration official. According to Kraus, Trump’s message to Hamas is straightforward: “Beware – because here I come. Don’t cross my line. My goal is to make Hamas enter the sandbox of the peace talks.”
Kraus also mentioned that Trump’s message is aimed at Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, stating, “Trump’s message is also to Netanyahu – I want a deal. Trump does not believe that it is Netanyahu who is preventing a deal.”
The report comes in the wake of a post made by Trump on Truth Social the previous day, where he issued an ultimatum to Hamas. He warned the group that there would be “hell to pay” if it does not release the hostages held in Gaza by the time he is inaugurated.
