The president-elect did not elaborate on what actions he might take if the captives are not released by the time he takes office.

President-elect Donald Trump warned that if hostages still being held in Gaza are not released by the time he is inaugurated on January 20, “all hell will break out in the Middle East.”

Addressing a conference in Florida, Trump said, “It will not be good for Hamas and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone. All hell will break out.”

President-elect Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff said on Tuesday he hopes to have good things to report about hostages held by Hamas in Gaza by the time Trump is sworn in as U.S. president on Jan.

Senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy joins 'America Reports' to react to President-elect Trump's comments on freeing hostages from Hamas, the Gulf of Mexico and the Panama Canal.

Donald Trump reiterated his warning that "all hell will break out in the Middle East" if Hamas does not release the Israeli hostages before his inauguration.

Donald Trump threatened to unleash “hell” if Hamas hostages are not released soon, as Biden administration officials note “constructive” discussions with transition team.

Standing next to his envoy to the Middle East, President-elect Donald Trump told reporters he wants hostages released from Gaza before his Jan. 20 inauguration.

Trump again threatened that “all hell will break out in the Middle East” if Hamas does not return its hostages to Israel by the time he takes office later this month.

"I think that we've had some really great progress, and I'm really hopeful that by the inaugural, we'll have some good things to announce on behalf of the president," Steve Witkoff said.
