‘He’ll do it’: Rubio tells Hamas to take Trump threats seriously

In an interview, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urges Hamas to take seriously Trump’s threats.

“People don’t realize the President meets with these people, he hears their stories; he’s outraged and rightfully so.  He’s tired of watching these videos every weekend where hostages that are emaciated are released and bodies are turned over, and sometimes it’s the wrong bodies and there’s five here and three there and there’s games that are being played.  And he’s lost his patience with it,” Rubio tells Fox News.

“He doesn’t say these things and not mean it, as folks are finding out around the world. If he says he’s going to do something, he’ll do it,” Rubio says. “And so they’d better take that seriously.”

Trump earlier issued an ultimatum to Hamas leaders to release the hostages and to flee.

“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,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform after meeting freed hostages.

“This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance.”
