But since Mr. Trump threatened the agreement on Monday, he said that on Saturday the delayed hostage – which was to include the issue of three hostages stored by Hamas in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners – should include all other hostages.
“I would say that on Saturday it is necessary to return 12 hours,” said Mr. Trump, “… all of them, not in the drapes and in the shotgun, not in two and three and four and two.
