“All Hell to Pay!”
American-Israeli Hostage Confirmed Dead, One Alive
Trump warns there will be ‘all hell to pay’ if hostages aren’t released by Jan. 20
After making threat as candidate at the RNC, president-elect doubles down, two days after Hamas releases video of American-Israeli captive begging him to secure a deal.

The American-Israeli hostage from Long Island, NY, whose grandparents were Holocaust survivors, announced dead on Monday.
US President-elect Donald Trump on Monday threatened those holding hostages in the Middle East with unprecedented American firepower if they are not released by the time he enters office on January 20.
Trump first made a similar threat as a presidential candidate at the Republican National Convention in July, but the latest warning posted on Truth Social came two days after Hamas released a propaganda video showing American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander pleading with the president-elect to secure his release.
The statement also came hours after the IDF revealed that another American-Israeli hostage — Omer Neutra — was killed during Hamas’s October 7 onslaught and that his body is being held in Gaza. Neutra had been thought to be alive, in captivity.
“Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East – But it’s all talk and no action!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, without mentioning Israel or the Palestinian terror group by name.
“Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity,” he continued.
“Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!” Trump added.
He called for the hostages’ release several times throughout his presidential campaign, but also made a point of insisting that most of the hostages are no longer alive.
Accordingly, he was reportedly caught off guard when President Isaac Herzog told him in a call late last month that Israeli intelligence assesses that half of the hostages still in Gaza are alive.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife Sara said she raised the plight of the hostages during her dinner on Sunday night with Trump at the president-elect’s golf resort in Florida.
In November, Netanyahu said he had directed the IDF to come up with a plan for boxing out Hamas from the distribution of humanitarian aid, but Washington and Israel’s Arab allies have warned that this goal is impossible as long as Israel continues to refuse the involvement of a reformed Palestinian Authority, given that they do not see any other viable option in Gaza capable of filling any vacuum left by Hamas.
Edan Alexander, Sagui Dekel-Chen and Keith Siegel are the last remaining American hostages believed to still be alive. The bodies of four other Americans — Neutra, Judith Weinstein, Gadi Haggai and Itay Chen — are still being held in Gaza.

Unfortunately hamas was smart enough to take hostages to use as bargaining chips. That has tied Israel's hands because they can't simply fire bomb the tunnels and blow them in place without killing the hostages. So using massive force isn't going to work because they want the hostages back and the bodies of the dead ones. The force will have to be directed towards hezbollah, houthi's, and Iran. Unfortunately China is in bed with Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan wanting their NG, oil, and minerals. Last year they placed a restriction on the amount of gallium and germanium they would export. The 2 G's are very important rare earths that are needed for many manufacturing applications of electronics. This week they just cut off all sales of the 2 G's and antimony. Antimony is used highly in military weapons and munitions. China has a 98+% monopoly on gallium, 50% on germanium, and I forget the % of antimony, but its a lot. So they have effectively put the US economy and military in a bad position. It has been said that move will reduce the US economy by $1.7 to $9 trillion dollars. That's a lot when you realize our economy is $27 trillion. It will make it very difficult to continue production of military equipment and munitions' at a time when Biden has given a large amount to Ukraine and some to Israel. I began warning 20+ years ago that this will one day happen if we don't start mining operations in the US. Pres Trump was the 1st to begin moving in that direction, but Biden has made it more difficult to open mines on Federal land. It used to take 15+/- years to begin exploration till a mine was opened. Today they say its between 20-25 years because of all the new regulations. Even if we super fast tracked it would still take several years to get all the permits OK'd and the mines built. Brazil is moving forward in mining but China is funding it with the agreement that they get the resources that Brazil doesn't need for their manufacturing. They are also buying up lots of mining in other parts of the world while the West sits on its butt's in confusion. MP is building a rare earth processing plant in the US so they don't have to send what they mine to China for processing. ARES has large rare earth deposits in Wyoming and the State is fast tracking them to production within 2 years. But these companies don't produce the 2 G's or A. There are 2 companies that have found small traces of the 2 G's, but 1 has only been exploring for about 2 years so there is no clue if its worth mining. The other mines fluorspar and has recently found traces of the 2 G's. So China is trying to put the West in the stone ages by cutting off what we so foolishly let them monopolize on. This is what happens when we reject God for so long, we become foolish relying on our economy and military might till the day comes that God shows us that His protection is not upon us and our enemies are dominating us. That's why I've said for years we must repent and seek God if we want our land to be healed. Even I have been having to do that.
