Donald Trump has promised to quickly end the war in Ukraine as soon as he takes the reins of the White House and he claims to do the same with the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
The US president-elect has warned that 'the situation will become chaotic' if Hamas does not release the hostages by January 20, the day he officially takes office.
Dozens of people, including Americans, are still being held hostage by the group that the United States has designated as a terrorist group. Trump has made it clear that if the hostages are not released the response will be devastating.
"They have to find out for themselves what that means, but one thing's for sure, it won't be good," he said. The Republican has taken credit for brokering a cease-fire last month between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon that was brokered by the United States and France.
So, his plans for the Gaza Strip are unclear, but some information on what his plan might be has already emerged. "President Trump may have some resources to increase military pressure on Hamas.
I don't think this will be any tougher than the Israeli operation over the last 14 months. But there may be another element, although I hope it will not have this approach, to shrink part of the humanitarian aid", says Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib from the Atlantic Council.
On the other hand, the current administration is seeking an increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza and is committed until the last day of President Biden in the White House to achieve a ceasefire, this was confirmed by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
