President Trump has had enough of Hamas’ games. He issued an ultimatum late yesterday. Release ALL the hostages or “Face Hell.”

Hamas released three hostages over the weekend, and their condition shocked the world. As before, they paraded those three men onto a stage in a grotesque circus. All three men were emaciated and it was very evident that they were physically struggling. The contrast now compared to prior to their captivity was stark. 

The hostages already released and back in Israel, safely, have all said they they were given more food in the week leading up to the release.

But it’s clear Hamas is starving the hostages held in Gaza.

President Trump said out loud what some were saying and everyone was thinking. 

I watched the hostages come back today. And they looked like Holocaust surivors. They were in horrible condition. They were emacitated. It looked like many years ago the Holocaust survivors. I don't know how much longer we can take that…We're going to lose our patience"

More reports are coming out from the hostages who’ve been released as to how horrifically they were all treated. And, quite frankly, the concentration camp comparison is on point. 

Bound. Starved. Wounded. Tortured. These are the conditions that some hostages being held in Gaza still face, according to information their families said they had received from Israeli military and security officials after Hamas released three captives on Saturday as part of a cease-fire agreement.

The emaciated appearance of three hostages released in a ceremony in Gaza staged by Hamas last weekend — Eli Sharabi, 52; Or Levy, 34; and Ohad Ben-Ami, 56 — and the details of their captivity have relatives of the remaining captives sounding the alarm about the urgent need for the continuation of the phased cease-fire deal. The urgency comes as the militant group said on Monday it would indefinitely postpone the next hostage releases, set for Saturday, citing Israeli cease-fire violations.

Hamas is also attempting to claim that the terrorists that Israel has released in accordance to the ceasefire deal were treated just as badly. Their claim doesn’t even pass the smell test. 

What does Hamas do instead? They called a halt to the next hostage handoff that was to take place this coming Saturday. 73 hostages remain. Elderly, women, and children.

And while Hamas is playing games with people’s lives, one hostage, who was murdered by Hamas, has been identified. 

The IDF stated that “IDF representatives this morning notified the family of Shlomo Mansour of blessed memory, who was brutally abducted to the Gaza Strip, that he was murdered by the Hamas terror organization on October 7th, 2023, and his body is being held in the Gaza Strip. The decision to determine his death was based on intelligence information that was collected over the past months and was confirmed by the Health Ministry’s professional committee in conjunction with the Religious Affairs Ministry and the Israel Police.”

His family stated: “Shlomo was the pillar of strength for our entire family. A man of high morals and values, a lover of humanity, who always helped others wholeheartedly. A man with a heart of gold, golden hands, and a smile worth gold.”

And they are refusing to release his body as well as the other 34 hostages that are said to have been murdered in captivity. Yet Hamas continues to claim they have been super nice to all of the hostages. 

Idit Ohel, whose son Alon Ohel turned 24 on Monday and was spending his second birthday in captivity in Gaza, told reporters at a news briefing that she had learned from military sources who had spoken with the most recently released hostages that her son was receiving very little food and no medical care for multiple injuries, including an eye injury that has left him partially blinded.

Mr. Ohel, who was captured at the Nova Music Festival during the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7, 2023, has been held bound for much of the time and was tortured, she said she had learned from Israeli military officials. “It was not easy to hear,” Ms. Ohel said. “I must say that I even fainted.”

Meanwhile the International Red Cross stands by and does nothing. They operate as a taxi service when hostages are released, but otherwise they’ve been sitting on their asses for the last 500 days. 

Hamas doesn’t like President Trump’s ultimatum that ALL the hostages need to be released immediately, or they will “Face Hell.” 

Hamas said Tuesday that US President Donald Trump’s demand that the terror group release all its hostages by noon Saturday — or “all bets are off” — “further complicates matters” relating to the fragile Gaza truce, after the terror group announced Monday that it would delay the next scheduled hostage release over alleged Israeli violations of the deal.

“Trump must remember that there is an agreement that must be respected by both parties and this is the only way to return the prisoners,” Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told AFP, referring to the hostages.

“The language of threats has no value and further complicates matters,” he added.

Many across the media are claiming that President Trump’s ultimatum on releasing the hostages or “Face Hell” is threatening the ceasefire. And they are wrong. Hamas is a terrorist organization, that has continually played games before and during this current ceasefire. They aren’t to be trusted, and President Trump knows that. As does Prime Minister Netanyahu.

BREAKING: Netanyahu: If Hamas doesn't release our hostages by Saturday at noon, the ceasefire will end, and the IDF will resume the fighting in Gaza

The question is: Does Hamas really want to find out if Trump is bluffing? We shall see.
