When it comes to dealing with terrorists, especially the cowards that make up the ranks of Hamas, President Donald Trump isn't messing around.

According to JustTheNews, after meeting some of the previous hostages who were held by the terrorists, Trump issued a stern "last warning" to Hamas and demanded they release the remaining hostages.

Earlier this week, President Trump met with eight people who were previously held as hostages by Hamas in the Oval Office.

During the meeting, Trump was briefed regarding the conditions they were held in while in captivity and vowed to bring home the remaining prisoners, whatever it takes.

What's going on?

The president sent a strongly-worded warning to Hamas after meeting with the former prisoners, saying that if they didn't return the hostages at once, there "would be hell to pay later."

Going further, Trump reminded Hamas that the United States had sent everything needed to Israel to allow the country to wipe Hamas off the map unless they complied with the request immediately.

Trump held nothing back in his message, which was posted on his Truth Social account and across social media.

"I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed. This is your last warning," he continued. "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!"

The warning comes as Israel and Hamas pass over 500 days of conflict.

Social media reaction

Users across social media reacted to Trump's warning, with most of them celebrating the president's demand.

"Trump’s message is crystal clear. strength, not weakness," one X user wrote.

Another X user wrote, "Thank you, Mr. President. We must stand with our ally Israel. And we must not let terrorists think they can kidnap our people with impunity."

Only time will tell if Hamas complies. If they don't, it appears as though their days are numbered.
