US President-elect Donald Trump said that if the detainees in the Gaza Strip are not released before his inauguration on January 20, there will be "hell" in the Middle East.

“Those responsible will be hit harder than anyone in the long and storied history of the United States of America,” Trump said in a post on social media. “Release the prisoners now.”

Trump added, "Everyone talks about the hostages in a brutal, inhumane way and against the will of the world, but it's just talk and no action."

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) announced - on Monday evening - that 33 Israeli prisoners held by it had been killed since October 2023, and confirmed that most of them had been killed by the Israeli army's bombing of various areas of the Gaza Strip.

The movement said - in a video clip posted on its Telegram page - that some of these people had disappeared due to "the criminal (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu and his intransigence."

The movement warned that "the continuation of the (Israeli) aggression will raise the death toll of enemy prisoners."

Israel estimates that there are 101 prisoners being held in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas calls for an end to the war and a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza as part of any agreement to release the remaining prisoners.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the war will continue until Hamas is eliminated and it is guaranteed that it no longer poses a threat to Israel.

With absolute American support, Israel has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 149,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and elderly people.
