U.S. President Elect Donald Trump has once again sent a warning that there will be “hell to pay” if Hamas doesn’t release the hostages by his January 20 inauguration. Josh says he is optimistic about the incoming U.S. administration, but at the same time, Israel must first and foremost implement the necessary policies which ensure its safety and well-being.
