SHORT:
President-elect Donald Trump has told Hamas to let the people they are holding in Gaza go free before he takes office on January 20.
If they don’t, he said there will be big problems. He made it clear that protecting Americans and their friends is very important. He also mentioned that if the hostages aren’t set free, the U.S. might work together with other countries, use money, and even send soldiers to deal with the situation.
This shows that the U.S. might be more forceful in its actions against Hamas. As the date gets closer, things are getting more tense.
