If Donald Trump has not yet officially taken office, that does not prevent him from already intervening in world conflicts. On Monday, December 2, the future president of the United States published a message on Truth Social, demanding the release of the hostages from Hamas. “ Everyone is talking about the hostages who are being held in such a violent, inhumane way and against the will of the entire world in the Middle East. But it’s all talk and no action! », lamented the future tenant of the White House.
Thus, he leaves the terrorist group until his inauguration, on January 20, to release “ hostages still held in the Gaza Strip ”, otherwise “ the price to pay will be terrible in the Middle East and for those responsible who perpetrated these atrocities against humanity “. He also promises that “ those responsible will be hit harder than anyone in the long and storied history of the United States of America ».
