US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Hamas on Monday, demanding the immediate release of all hostages. In a post on Truth Social, Trump condemned reports that Hamas has moved hostages above ground to use them as human shields against Israel’s impending ground offensive. Calling the act a “human atrocity,” Trump warned Hamas leaders that if they proceed, “all bets are off,” making clear that the consequences would be severe if such tactics are employed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Trump for his “unflinching support” in the fight against Hamas and the push to free the hostages. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee echoed Trump’s call, urging Hamas to take the warning seriously. The statement comes as reports from Gaza indicate that hostages have been relocated into private homes and tents in preparation for Israel’s ground operation, a move aimed at complicating military efforts and shielding Hamas operatives behind innocent lives.
