WATCH: Trump – ‘Big trouble for Hamas if they use hostages as shields’

Before departing for the United Kingdom, President Trump warned that Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza could lead to “big trouble” while noting that Hamas continues to use Israeli hostages as human shields.

.@POTUS on Gaza: “We’re going to see what happens because I hear Hamas is trying to use the old human shield deal, and if they do that, they’re going to be in big trouble. They put it out two days ago that they’re going to use the hostages as human shields.” pic.twitter.com/IpDRTnBHlf
