In a recent Fox News interview, US Vice President-elect JD Vance discussed President Donald Trump’s warning to Hamas, saying that “all hell will break out” if Hamas does not release the remaining hostages.
Vance emphasized that this threat has pushed for progress in negotiations, stating that it is part of the reason some hostages are being released.
Vance detailed the possible consequences for Hamas, including the US enabling Israel to target Hamas’s remaining forces and imposing aggressive sanctions on those supporting terrorism.
He praised Trump’s leadership in handling Middle East issues and suggested that these measures could help achieve a resolution before the end of the Biden administration.
The ongoing conflict, which started in October 2023, has resulted in thousands of deaths on both sides.
Diplomatic efforts to broker a ceasefire continue, with mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and the US pushing forward with talks.
However, there are doubts regarding the possibility of completely dismantling Hamas, as analysts and officials question the feasibility of eliminating the group entirely.
The situation remains tense, with ongoing violence in Gaza and continued efforts to broker a deal.
