Trump warns Hamas: ultimatum for hostages by Saturday - otherwise chaos threatens!

US President Donald Trump has confronted the terrorist organization Hamas with a strict ultimatum: all remaining hostages must be released by 12 p.m. on Saturday, otherwise he is threatening drastic measures. “If they’re not here, all hell will break loose,” Trump warned at the White House. This statement underlines his intransigence, as the hostages should not be released in stages, but in a single action. Otherwise, he will advise Israel to abandon the ceasefire. Tensions between Hamas and Israel are rising after Hamas announced it would suspend the next hostage releases, claiming Israel is not abiding by its agreements oe24.at reported.

Trump also expressed concern about the health of the hostages who have already been released, comparing their condition to that of Holocaust survivors. Of the original 251 hostages kidnapped since the attack on October 7, 2023, 73 are still in Gaza, while 34 are already believed to be dead. In a recent exchange, Hamas released 33 Israeli hostages, while Israel released 1,900 Palestinian prisoners, including convicted perpetrators.

Trump's controversial plans for Gaza

In addition to the hostage negotiations, Trump has unveiled a controversial policy for Gaza that says Palestinians will have no right of return to Gaza. "No, they wouldn't," Trump said in an interview, which could prompt international opposition to his plans. In a further move, he suggested that the US might withhold aid funds to Jordan and Egypt if they are unwilling to accept new Palestinian refugees, such as CNN reported. Trump’s approach to viewing Gaza as a major real estate project and his proposals to resettle Palestinians are creating additional uncertainty in the region.
