It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” the president-elect warned during a press conference in Mar-a-Lago Tuesday.

Dermer said to leave Mar-a-Lago in November believing one of those two options likely, but others close to US president-elect think he'll try for new nuclear deal before striking

Hamas stood by its demand on Tuesday that Israel fully end its assault on Gaza under any deal to release hostages, and said U.S. President-elect Donald Trump was rash to say there would be "hell to pay" unless they go free by his Jan.

Iran's armed forces began a large-scale joint air defence exercise near the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in central Isfahan province hinting towards a possible US attack.

Israel is considering limiting humanitarian aid to Gaza after Donald Trump comes into office later this month in a bid to deprive Hamas of resources, according to an Israeli official familiar with the matter.

President-elect Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff said on Tuesday he hopes to have good things to report about hostages held by Hamas in Gaza by the time Trump is sworn in as U.S. president on Jan.

The president-elect's threat sounds typically dramatic, but Donald Trump has few practical options if Hamas and Israel remain at loggerheads over the hostages still held by the Iran-backed militant group.

With the most powerful Arab army withdrawn, no other Arab army, including Syria’s, was in a military position to invade Israel.

What are the biggest challenges and opportunities facing Trump and his team in foreign policy and national security?

Trump again threatened that “all hell will break out in the Middle East” if Hamas does not return its hostages to Israel by the time he takes office later this month.

Trump promised 'all hell will break out' in the Middle East if Israeli hostages are not returned by the time he takes office.
