The US vice president-elect has revealed the practical implication of Trump’s threat that “all hell will break loose” if the hostages are not freed before his inauguration on Jan 20.
JD Vance told Fox News it means enabling the Israelis to knock out the final couple of battalions of Hamas and their leadership.
He continued that it means financial penalties and very aggressive sanctions on those supporting ‘terrorist organizations’ in the Middle East.
The vice president-elect does not mention the financial sanctions that the incoming administration has planned against Hamas. However, the Biden administration has already levied a number of sanctions against the group. It has also issued arrest warrants for several Hamas leaders.
He asserts threat of “all hell to pay” if the hostages are not freed is what sparked recent development in the ongoing hostage talks.
Vance said that we are hopeful there is going to be an agreement at the end of Biden’s administration.
He added that but regardless of when that agreement is reached, it will be because people are terrified that there are going to be consequences for Hamas.
