President Donald Trump welcomed a group of 8 freed Hamas hostages to the White House on Wednesday, and then fired off a FINAL WARNING to the Hamas terror group.
According to a Fox News report, the group of former hostages who met with Trump were identified as Eli Sharabi, Doron Steinbrecher, Keith Siegel, Aviva Siegel, Naama Levy, Omer Shem Tov, Iair Horn and Noa Argamani.
They told President Trump they were all taken hostage by the Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023.
The White House posted a video as the former hostages shared their stories, and thanked the president for his role in helping get them freed.
“We believe you were sent by God to release us,” one man told Trump. “We’re here because of you,” another man said, while yet another added, “We’re alive because of you. Thank you very much.”

After the meeting, President Trump blasted out a “fire and brimstone” message to Hamas. On his Truth Social page, he wrote:
“Shalom Hamas” means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose. Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you.
Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted! I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say.
I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed. This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance.
Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!
