Tikvah Hostage Families Forum: No more excuses! Free them all!

The Tikvah Hostage Families Forum released a statement today (Tuesday) supporting President Donald Trump's ultimatum to Hamas to release all the hostages by Saturday or "all hell" would break loose.

Here is the full statement:

"No more excuses - all hostages in one day on one bus"

The Tikvah Forum supports U.S. President Trump's call to the Israeli government to present Hamas with an ultimatum for returning all hostages, after which 'the gates of hell will open.'

The U.S. President is giving Israel an opportunity that won't return. The Israeli government should announce today a date after which, if all hostages - both living and dead - are not returned, Gaza will no longer exist.

Any reasonable person could have anticipated Hamas's extortion when dividing into phases and giving up all pressure points - Hamas recognizes its position of power and exploits it. What we saw yesterday is just a preview of what awaits us in the coming weeks, while our hostages are starving in tunnels.

Now is the time to bring everyone back at any price, but Hamas will pay it:

❌ No humanitarian aid

❌ No electricity

❌ No water

❌ All the gates of hell will open

In the Middle East, there are no negotiations. There are ultimatums.

Hawkish party leaders Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir responded with open support today to President Donald Trump's ultimatum that if all the hostages were not released this Saturday, "all hell" would break loose.

Smotrich posted on his X account: "Everyone, now!" in support of the idea that all the hostages should be released at once rather than in small numbers at a time, echoing Trump's sentiments.

Hawkish minister Amichai Chikli, who had previously threatened to resign from the government if the IDF left the Philadelphi axis or if Israel proceeded to the second stage of the hostage deal and agreed to end the war posted this statement on his X feed:

"Finally, the voice of logic. Hamas will not run the show, will not make a circus from our people and will not spread out the deal over a year and a half in which it will rebuild its force and receive ongoing supplies. Everyone now. That's how it's done!"

As of this writing, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar have not responded to Trump's statement.
