Vice President-elect James David Vance detailed on Sunday the implications behind President-elect Donald Trump's warning that there would be "hell to pay" if Hamas did not release hostages before he takes office on Jan. 20.

Trump's deputy, J.D. Vance, clarified the implications of Trump's threat to "unleash hell in the Middle East" if Gaza hostages are not freed before he takes office:

Trump's statement that "ll hell will break loose if hostages are not released by Inauguration Day carries specific consequences, FOX News learned in an interview with Vance. "It means enabling the Israelis to knock out the final couple of battalions of Hamas and their leadership," Vance said, according to FOX News.

The vice president-elect expanded on the strategy in detail. "It means very aggressive sanctions and financial penalties on those who are supporting terrorist organizations in the Middle East. It means actually doing the job of American leadership, which Donald Trump did very well for four years, and he's gonna do very well for the next four years," Vance said, FOX News reported.

While discussing potential negotiations, Vance expressed optimism about a possible breakthrough in the remaining days of the Biden administration. However, he emphasized a clear message about the driving force behind any potential agreement.

"But regardless of when that deal is struck, it will be because people are terrified that there are going to be consequences for Hamas," Vance told FOX News.
