MARCH 6, 2025 – U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Hamas, demanding the release of all remaining hostages or face further military action in Gaza.

Speaking at a White House briefing on Wednesday, Trump declared that unless hostages were freed immediately, the U.S. would support intensified strikes on Hamas strongholds. He also warned Hamas leaders to flee or risk elimination.

The time for negotiations is over, Trump stated. Either Hamas surrenders and releases the hostages, or they will face consequences like never before.

The warning comes amid ongoing conflict in Gaza, with international calls for a ceasefire growing. However, Trump reaffirmed his administration's firm stance against Hamas, which the U.S. designates as a terrorist organization.
