Hamas has released a dramatic video in response to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s ultimatum demanding the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. The video accuses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being a "war criminal" and holds him responsible for the deaths of 33 captives. According to Hamas, the hostages were killed as a result of Israeli airstrikes and military actions, with many incidents detailed in the footage.
The group alleges that Israel’s military efforts to recover the hostages have consistently failed, with casualties mounting due to the ongoing conflict. In a chilling warning, Hamas claims that if the war continues, the remaining hostages may be lost forever, intensifying pressure on both Israel and the incoming Trump administration.

Iraqi fighters, backed by Iran, have crossed into Syria to join forces with Syrian and Russian military units in a fight against Turkey-backed jihadist rebels. The deployment comes after the jihadists seized Aleppo, marking a significant blow to the Syrian government's control. These reinforcements, primarily from Iraq's Badr and Nujabaa groups, are expected to focus on defending key Shiite shrines and supporting Assad’s forces on the frontlines.
However, Lebanon's Hezbollah, a key ally of Syria and Iran, has decided to stay out of this latest conflict. Despite Hezbollah's earlier role in supporting Syrian forces, particularly in the fight against rebels, it is not ready to commit forces in the current escalation, reportedly due to the strain from its ongoing war with Israel.
