There was a threat to a critical ceasefire between Israel and Hamas on Tuesday when President Donald Trump warned that “if the Palestinian militant group does not release all the hostages this week,” all hell is over. “
The war in Gaza is on a pause after a complex agreement, in which the hostages held near Hamas in Gaza are rapidly exchanged for Palestinian prisoners and detainees in Israel.
But Hamas said at the end of Monday that it was postponing the next hostage of the next hostage on Saturday, accusing Israel of firing on the Palestinians, and they were stripped. Stop returning to the northern part, and delay the entry of medical equipment and shelters.
This week’s exchange was prepared to see three more hostages free from Gaza. But Trump responded to Hamas delay, demanding all 76 aspects, of which 44 are believed to be alive, free.
He told reporters, “If not all hostages are returned until 12 o’clock Saturday – I think this is a suitable time.
When they ask for details about what they mean by “hell”, the president said “Hamas will know what I mean”.
The possibility of launching a war in which more than 48,000 Ghazans have been killed, the raid has frightened international observers as well as Palestinians and the hostages, most of whom are led by Hamas. The abducted 250 was included in October 7. , 2023, a terrorist attack in which 1,200 people were also killed.
“We must refrain from the restoration of all kinds of hostilities in Gaza, which will cause a lot of tragedy in Gaza,” the UN Secretary, Antonio Guterres, said in a statement. “I appeal to Hamas to move forward with the hostages of the hostages. The two sides will have to fully follow their promises in the ceasefire agreement and resume serious talks.
Before Hamas announces delay in liberating hostages, Trump’s repeated statements have been confident in the ceasefire that he wants to remove Palestinians from Gaza permanently so that the United States is an unprecedented opportunity for Warzun. But to develop.
“I will own it – I will think of it as an immovable development for the future. It will be a beautiful piece of land,” he said on Monday, contradicting his assistants, who said the Palestinians. The migration from space will be temporary.
“We will build beautiful communities, safe communities,” he said, “he said,” from where they are, it is a little away from where it is all in danger. “
It has been nervous to many governments and experts, which indicate that forcible removal of people from homes has been classified as ethnic cleansing under international law. Trump suggested that if he refused to restore more than 2 million Gaza’s population, he could revoke aid from Egypt and Jordan.
“Yeah, maybe, of course not?” He said that Trump, who was meeting King Abdullah of Jordan in the White House on Tuesday, was asked about the end of the financial support.
Meanwhile, Hamas’s announcement has seen Israel an increase in its security measures.
Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the Israeli Defense Forces to “prepare advanced preparations for any possible scenario in Gaza, calling Hamas’s statement a” complete violation of a ceasefire agreement “.
Trump’s threat has supported right -wing nationalist lawmakers. Attar Ben Gauer, who resigned from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s National Security Minister last month, wrote on X: “Trump is fine!” He added that the time has come to go back to Gaza and “destroy” – apparently referring to Hamas.
On the other hand, many of the hostages are anxious for ceasefire.
“President Trump, I am asking you wholeheartedly: Do everything in your power to make sure this contract is underway!” Elon Oahil’s mother, Adity Oahil, said that on October 7, 2023, was abducted by Israel’s Nova Music Festival.
At a ceremony on the 24th anniversary of his captive son on Monday, he said he had received the first “proof of life” since taking it.
In a statement that identified the death of another hostage, Netanyahu’s 86 -year -old Shillumo Montezor said he would continue to “work with determination and tirelessness until we all our kidnappers – alive and dead Don’t return the two. “
Alexander Smith reported from London, and Lahz Jabari and Yarden Sagiyu reported from Tel Aviv.
