In a post on his social media platform, &#8220;Truth Social,&#8221; Trump stated: &#8220;We have a deal for the hostages in the Middle East. The hostages will be released soon. Thank you!&#8221; Trump is set to re-take office at the White House on January 20th.<\/p>\n<p>Trump then continued to elaborate on the issue: &#8220;I am thrilled that American and Israeli hostages will soon return home to reunite with their families and loved ones. With this deal, through the efforts of our Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, my national security team will continue working closely with Israel and our allies to ensure that Gaza will never again become a safe haven for terror. We will continue to promote peace through strength across the region, building on the momentum of the ceasefire to further expand the historic Abraham Accords. This is just the beginning of great things to come for America and, indeed, the world!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trump\u2019s Impact on the Art of the Deal<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is not Trump\u2019s first statement regarding the hostage issue. Before being elected president, during his campaign Trump had declared that if the hostages were not returned before his inauguration, &#8220;all hell&#8221; would rain down on Gaza. Following his election, he reiterated this warning.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview conducted in the U.S. on Monday, Trump stated: &#8220;I understand there was a handshake, and they\u2019re close to finishing \u2014 perhaps by the weekend \u2014 but it has to happen. If it doesn\u2019t, there\u2019s going to be a lot of trouble \u2014 trouble like they\u2019ve never seen before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13121\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13121\" style=\"width: 799px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2-17.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2-17.jpg 799w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2-17-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2-17-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13121\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trump support sign in Israel.
