Trump’s Ultimatum Shakes Middle East Dynamics Ahead of Inauguration [WATCH]

In a powerful reminder of the Trump Effect, Hamas has announced its willingness to negotiate a ceasefire with Israel following a fiery press conference by President-elect Donald Trump.

Speaking from Mar-a-Lago after the certification of his 2024 election victory, Trump issued an unyielding ultimatum to the group, demanding the immediate release of hostages held in Gaza, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

With his characteristic bluntness, Trump warned that failure to comply by January 20, his Inauguration Day, would unleash catastrophic consequences across the region.

“All hell will break out,” he declared. “If they’re not back by the time I get into office, all hell will break out in the Middle East. It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone.”

Trump’s remarks were not mere bluster. He underscored the severity of Hamas’ actions, referencing the devastating attack of October 7.

“They should have given them back a long time ago. They should have never taken them. They should have never committed the attack of October 7. People forget that, but there was, and many people were killed,” he stated.

JUST IN: This is the type of president we have needed to listen to, as President Trump has strong words for Hamas.

The bold stance appears to have rattled Hamas leadership. Reports surfaced Monday that the group is prepared to strike a ceasefire deal with Israel, marking a significant shift in tone.

CNN reported that U.S. officials believe an agreement could be announced in the waning days of Joe Biden’s presidency.

This development is yet another notch in Trump’s belt of diplomatic victories, achieved before even stepping back into the Oval Office.

While the Biden administration has floundered in its Middle East policy, Trump’s direct and uncompromising approach has already yielded tangible results. His ability to command attention and compel action, even from adversaries, is a testament to his unique leadership style.

However, there is concern that the Biden administration’s radical tendencies could jeopardize progress before Trump takes office. As Trump’s January 20 inauguration approaches, conservatives are watching closely, hopeful that this pivotal moment will set the stage for a stronger, more decisive U.S. foreign policy.
