Trump Meets Freed Israeli Hostages, Gives ‘Last Warning’ to Hamas
President Trump: “‘Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye — You can choose.”
President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued an ultimatum to Hamas after meeting with a group of former hostages in the White House. President Trump on X told the Islamic terrorist group to free all remaining hostages or “it is OVER for you.”
The warning was given hours after president’s meeting with a group of hostages released from Gaza as part of the recently concluded hostages-for-terrorists exchange. President Trump met with eight former hostages — Iair Horn, Omer Shem Tov, Eli Sharabi, Keith Siegel, Aviva Siegel, Naama Levy, Doron Steinbrecher and Noa Argamani — the White House confirmed.
“Today, President Trump took time to meet with eight of the released hostages from Gaza. The President listened intently to their heartbreaking stories,” the White House said in a statement. “The hostages thanked President Trump for his steadfast efforts to bring all of the hostages home.”
The Jerusalem Post reported the Oval Office meeting:
Six freed hostages met with US President Donald Trump while on a special visit to Washington on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the details.
The delegation, organized by The Hostages Families Forum and Hostage Aid, is comprised of Doron Steinbrecher, Eli Sharabi, Naama Levy, Iair Horn, Omer Shem Tov, and Keith and Aviva Siegel, who were all freed as part of phase one of the most recent Gaza deal.
The group met and thanked the Trump administration for its commitment to returning all hostages, shared their experiences from captivity, and emphasized the need to return all hostages immediately.

“‘Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose,” President Trump wrote on X.
“Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you,” he warned. “Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted! I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say.”

The Reuters reported President Trump’s warning to Hamas:
Trump met a group of hostages who had been released recently under a Gaza ceasefire deal, and he issued a stark new threat against Hamas in a social media post.
He demanded that Hamas “release all of the hostages now, not later,” including the remains of dead hostages, “or it is OVER for you.”
“I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say,” he said. “Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!”
Trump’s warning echoed his “hell to pay” threat before his January 20 return to the White House, which was followed by the ceasefire and hostages deal in mid-January that he claimed credit for before then-President Joe Biden left office.
President Trump issued his ‘last warning’ following Hamas’s rejection of the latest U.S. ceasefire proposal over the weekend, refusing to release remaining 59 hostages it continues to hold for 17 months, including the bodies of 35 captives murdered since October 7, 2023.
Axios: Trump admin in hostage talks with Hamas
According to Axios, the Trump administration is conducting its own talks with Hamas to secure the release of U.S. and other hostages. The Gaza-based terrorist group is reportedly holding U.S. national Edan Alexander (21) in captivity since October 7, 2023, as well as bodies of four murdered American hostages.
“The Trump administration has been holding direct talks with Hamas over the release of U.S. hostages held in Gaza and the possibility of a broader deal to end the war,”the Axios reported citing sources close to the White House.
“White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Wednesday afternoon that the U.S. was holding direct talks with Hamas, and said Israel had been consulted,” the news website added.

No mention of the fact that some of the hostages are American citizens
That’s Keith Siegel standing there.
Do please read the post till the end. I mentioned US hostages.
Yep. “ The Gaza-based terrorist group is reportedly holding U.S. national Edan Alexander (21) in captivity since October 7, 2023, as well as bodies of four murdered American hostages.”
Terrorist animals like Hamas will never voluntarily release all hostages. They’re bargaining chips. Respectfully, let’s not warn them anymore and just eliminate them.
So what is ‘the moron’ going to do. Start a war.? Uh oh – the redhat goobers don’t like that. GUFFAW
Give more military aid to Israel?
NO NO – the redhat goobers only want money spent on Americans. America first. LAFFRIOT
Hey maybe he should impose a big tariff on them.
LAFFRIOT
Typical of ‘the moron”s foreign policy. Speak loudly and carry a small stick
FOAD scumbag
That’s quite a red line. The dog better be let off the leash when the savages don’t comply.
He needs to put the screws to the supporters of Hamas outside gaza regardless if they are a group like CAIR or countries like Turkey and Qatar. If the support is coming from nato countries kick them out. If from neutral countries like Ireland, sanction them. Withhold donations to the UN until they unHamas themselves. etc….
President Trump is making every human effort to get the remaining hostages back. That’s why these cretins haven’t been attacked, but Israel will have to do something drastic very soon.
