President Donald Trump warned Hamas to release all Israeli hostages or “it is OVER for you.”

On Wednesday, Trump posted on Truth Social, telling the terrorist organization to release all of the hostages now and to immediately return all of the dead bodies that they currently have in their possession.

“‘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,” he stated.

“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!” he continued.

Earlier in the day, Trump had wrapped up a meeting at the White House with a group of eight released hostages where he stated “We will get them out,” referring to the remaining hostages being held by Hamas.

“Thank you all. We’re working on it very hard,” Trump said as he shook each of the freed hostages. “We’ll do the best we can… Horrible stories. It’s not even believable… We’ll get them out. Watch. We’ll get them out.”

The released hostages thanked Trump for his efforts to release them.

“You’ve been sent by God to release them. You can really help. You have the power to do it,” said Omer Shem Tov, who had been held captive by Hamas.

“You were our hope when we were there, and now you’re their hope,” said another rescued hostage, Naama Levy.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed on Sunday that he refused to accept the United States’ proposal which would have provided the U.S. with Ukraine’s rare earth minerals in exchange for military aid.

The proposal, which was pitched on Friday at the Munich Security Conference by Vice President JD Vance, would give the United States access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals “as compensation” for support previously provided by the Biden administration, as well as for future military aid.

Ukraine is particularly rich in graphite, lithium, titanium, beryllium and uranium, which are critical materials for defense and tech industries.

Zelensky stated that he “didn’t let the ministers sign a relevant because in my view it is not ready to protect us, our interest.”

Zelensky has repeatedly stated that any deal handing over valuable minerals to the United States would need to be accompanied by security guarantees to deter any future Russian aggression.

“There are voices which say that Europe could offer security guarantees without the Americans, and I always say no,” Zelensky stated on Tuesday. “Security guarantees without America are not real security guarantees.”

Meanwhile, White House National Security Council Spokesman Brian Hughes stated that “President Zelensky is being short-sighted about the excellent opportunity the Trump Administration has presented to Ukraine.”

The Ukrainian president also added that Kyiv believes that Russian President Vladamir Putin is gearing up to “wage war against NATO.”

“We know for sure that he is preparing that from the territory of Belarus this year. It can happen in summer, maybe in the beginning, maybe in the end of summer. I do not know when he will prepare it. But it will happen,” Zelensky stated.

“There are risks that this could be Poland and Lithuania because we believe – we believe that Putin will wage war against NATO,” he added.

“That is why I told you that, ‘What is he waiting for?’ For a weakening of NATO by, for instance, the policy of the United States of America, for example, that the United States of America will think to take its military from Europe. Yes, Putin thinks that. But I will believe that the United States will not take its forces, its contingents from Europe because that will severely weaken NATO and the European continent. Putin definitely counts on that. And the fact that we receive information that he will think of the invasion against former Soviet republics. And forgive me, but today these are NATO countries.”

Ukraine is now in the process of crafting a “counter proposal” to be delivered to the United States in “the near future,” according to the Associated Press.

Trump Warns Cheney of Dire Consequences Amid Witness Tampering Allegations in Jan. 6 Probe

President-elect Donald Trump says that former GOP Representative Liz Cheney could face harsh consequences after a House panel called for her to be investigated by the FBI for possible witness tampering while on a Democrat-led committee investigating the January 6th, 2021, protest.

“Liz Cheney could be in a lot of trouble based on the evidence obtained by the subcommittee, which states that 'numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, and these violations should be investigated by the FBI,” Trump posted on Truth Social early Wednesday.

His comments came just hours after the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee, led by Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), issued an interim report on Tuesday calling for the Justice Department to investigate Cheney’s actions before Trump is set to take back the White House. 

Cheney had purportedly exchanged calls and text messages with Cassidy Hutchinson, a first-term White House aide to then-President Trump, using the encrypted app “Signal” just weeks before her June 2022 testimony. However, the majority of the “incriminating” information that Cheney claimed to have learned was later proven false, House Republicans have previously highlighted.

Nevertheless, it’s still up in the air regarding whether Trump’s nominees to lead the Justice Department will act on the committee’s recommendation.

“Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge,” the report from Chairman Loudermilk said.

The former Wyoming rep’s communications with Hutchinson were illegal and were “outside the due functioning of the legislative process and therefore not protected by the Speech and Debate clause,” Loudermilk argued.

Additionally, Hutchinson testified publicly, claiming that she was told Trump was so enraged when Secret Service agents refused to drive him to the U.S. Capitol on the day of the protest that he allegedly “lunged” for the steering wheel. 

However, those claims were proven false by photographs from the day, which showed that Hutchinson had misidentified the vehicle where the alleged encounter took place. The driver later confirmed that Hutchinson’s testimony was false.

Whether her testimony was purposely invented or simply a misunderstanding is still being debated.

Meanwhile, Cheney remarked on the matter Tuesday afternoon, accusing Loudermilk of “lies and defamatory allegations.” She is also reportedly on President Joe Biden’s list of people to preemptively pardon before he leaves the White House.
