"Shalom Hamas' means Hello and Goodbye - You can choose," his post read.

"Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted!" he continued.
"This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance," Trump warned.
"RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!" he concluded.
'Not a single Hamas member will be safe'
"I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say," indicating Trump's desire to back Israel in further military operations if Hamas does not release all hostages.
"I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed."
"Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision," possibly referencing Trump's controversial plans for restoring the Gaza Strip.
