Amid the ongoing Middle East conflict, the USA is preparing for a regime change with President-elect Donald Trump set to take office on January 20, 2025. Trump issued a strong warning to Hamas on December 3, demanding the release of hostages before his inauguration, threatening severe consequences if they are not freed. The conflict escalated on October 7, 2023, when Iran-backed Hamas attacked Israel, killing over 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages. Israel responded with a heavy counter-offensive in Gaza, resulting in over 45,000 Palestinian deaths, with around 100 hostages still missing. Recently, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke with Trump three times, emphasizing shared concerns over the Iranian threat and the strong US-Israel relationship.
