| PM Netanyahu has repeatedly said this is only the first step, not a permanent ceasefire, and that he will accept only living hostages in the first round, not bodies. In two weeks President Trump comes over the horizon, with the promise of horrible vengeance if Hamas doesn’t cough up all the American hostages.

Trump reiterates his threat to Hamas: ‘Those hostages have to get out, they have to get out now’
[IsraelTimes] US President-elect Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
reiterates his warning to Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...to release the hostages it is holding in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect.

Asked what he meant when he said previously that there would be "hell to pay" if the hostages aren’t released before he takes office on January 20, Trump says: "Exactly what it says — if those hostages aren’t released by the time I get office there will be hell to pay."
"I don’t think I have to get into it... But it won’t be the word ’don’t,’ you know," he adds, referring to a warning made by US President Joe

We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
on October 10, 2023, in a speech pledging support for Israel in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 atrocities.
"There will be hell to pay," he repeats, "Those hostages have to get out, they have to get out now."
Earlier in the interview Trump says, "I’m with Israel. I think that’s pretty obvious to everybody... I do have to add, I’m also for peace. It’s time. This fight’s been going on for a long time, longer than people would understand."
