President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued a “last warning” to Hamas to release all remaining hostages “or there will be hell to pay.”

Hours before the post, it was revealed in an Axios report that U.S. officials met with Hamas for the first time since to discuss the release of the hostages. The U.S. notably designated Hamas as a terrorist group nearly two decades ago, prompting Fox’s Peter Doocy to ask about the meeting during a White House press briefing.

In a Truth Social post published Wednesday afternoon, Trump said:

“Shalom Hamas” means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose. Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted! 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. I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed. This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance. 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. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!

DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
