Investing.com -- U.S. President Donald Trump has declared his intention to provide Israel with the necessary resources to counter Hamas, emphasizing the immediate release of all hostages and the return of deceased individuals. The statement was made on his Truth social media platform.

In his message, 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." He further characterized the retention of bodies as an action of "sick and twisted" individuals.

The President affirmed his commitment to 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." He issued a stern warning to the leadership of Hamas, advising them to leave Gaza while they still had the opportunity.

Trump also addressed the people of Gaza, suggesting a hopeful future, but only if they refrained from holding hostages. He urged them to make a "SMART decision," warning of severe consequences if the hostages were not released immediately.

Today, Trump met with eight individuals who had been released from captivity in Gaza. He listened to their stories, and they expressed their gratitude for his persistent efforts to secure their freedom.
