In a fiery ultimatum Wednesday evening, President Trump is demanding Hamas release all hostages immediately and return the bodies of those killed, or face severe consequences. Taking to social media platforms Truth Social and X (formerly Twitter), Trump addressed Hamas directly, stating:
“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.”
Pointing to the urgency of the moment, Trump added:
“‘Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose.”
Trump’s message further condemned the group’s actions, labeling them as “sick and twisted” for retaining bodies, and issued a stark warning to its leadership to leave Gaza while they still have the chance, concluding with:
“RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!”
“‘Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose. 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 also assured unwavering U.S. support for Israel, stating:
“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.”
Addressing the residents of Gaza, Trump hinted at potential opportunities contingent upon the hostages’ release:
“A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision.”
This bold, direct message follows Trump’s recent meeting with a delegation of seven former hostages at the White House, fulfilling his administration’s commitment to resolving the hostage crisis and supporting Israel’s security measures.
