Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum to Hamas, demanding the release of all remaining Israeli hostages by noon on Saturday or face the cancellation of the Gaza ceasefire. Trump warned of dire consequences if the deadline is not met, stating that 'all hell is going to break out.' This intervention comes after Hamas delayed the release of more hostages and accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement. Meanwhile, Hamas claims Israel is not serious about the ceasefire and cites instances of 'delaying the return of the displaced' and targeting Palestinians with shelling and gunfire.
Donald Trump says the Gaza ceasefire should be cancelled if all remaining Israel i hostages are not returned by noon on Saturday - as he warned Hamas that 'all hell is going to break out'. The US president's intervention came hours after Hamas has said it will delay the release of more hostages and accused Israel of violating their ceasefire deal. While signing a series of new executive orders, Mr Trump said he feared many Israel i hostages scheduled for release are already dead.
They were among about 250 people taken during the 7 October 2023 attack, when 1,200 people were murdered. Five swaps have taken place so far, with 21 hostages and more than 730 Palestinian prisoners released. Saturday's exchange was due to involve three more Israelis and hundreds of Palestinians. Defence minister Israel Katz said any delay in releasing hostages would be 'a complete violation' and he had instructed troops to be on highest alert.
