Although he didn’t have anything formally on his schedule today, President Donald Trump has spent a busy Wednesday meeting with various people in the Oval Office. One of those meetings was with DJ Daniel, the darling 13-year-old boy who’s been battling cancer and who was a guest at Trump’s address to Congress Tuesday evening, where he was made an honorary Secret Service agent.

In addition to Daniel, Trump met with eight of the hostages released from Gaza, including Doron Steinbrecher, Omer Shem Tov, Eli Sharabi, Keith Siegel, Aviva Siegel, Naama Levy, Iair Horn, and Noa Argamani.
During their meeting, the hostages expressed appreciation for Trump’s efforts — to get them released and to help free the remaining hostages.

Following their meeting, Trump issued a stark, very direct message to Hamas:

“Shalom Hamas” means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose. 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. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted! 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. I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed. This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance. Also, 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!
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
I would think if Hamas has any doubt about what their next move should be, this very loud, very direct message from Trump ought to answer that for them.
President Trump has been relentless in his quest to bring hostages home and unwavering in his support for Israel.
