💨 Abstract

President-elect Donald Trump has warned of potential escalation in the Middle East if Hamas does not release hostages, including American citizens, being held in Gaza by Inauguration Day. Trump's Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steven Charles Witkoff, stated that negotiations are on the verge of success but did not elaborate on the potential consequences if a deal is not reached before Trump takes office on January 20.
