Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Tuesday that the suspension of weapons in gas would end and the army would resume fighting with Hamas until it was defeated if the Palestinian group of fighters would not release hosts until noon on Saturday.
After the ultimatum of Netanyahu, Hamas issued a statement renewing his involvement in the suspension of weapons and accusing Israel of threat.
The Israeli announcement occurred after Netanyahu met with several key ministers, including defense, foreign matters and national security, which, as he said, gave an ultimatum.
After almost 16 months of war, Hamas gradually releases hostages from the first phase of the arms suspension, began on January 19, but on Monday he stated that he would no longer free hostages until he informed about the accusations that Israel violated the contract, heading in Gazana with military fire and shooting and stopping help materials before entering the territory.
Israel denies that back help and claims that he has released people who disregard the warnings so that they do not approach the position of the Israeli troops.
“If Hamas does not return our hostages by Saturday in the afternoon, the suspension of the weapon will end and IDF will return to intense fights until Hamas is finally defeated,” said Netanyahu.
It was not clear at once whether Netanyahu meant that Hamas should slow down all hostages who take place in Gaza, or only those that were to be released on Saturday under the suspension of weapons.
US President Donald Trump suggested that Hamas should release all hostages in Gaza to Saturday or would propose to cancel the suspension of the suspension of Israel-Hhama and permission to “hell”. Hamas said earlier that he would stop issuing hostages until further notice, citing violations of the arms suspension. Trump, who meets King of Jordan Abdullah II on Tuesday, also said that he could keep the help of Jordan and Egypt if they do not accept Palestinian refugees from Gaza.
His office did not immediately answer Reuters for a comment on the prime minister's comments.
US President Donald Trump, close to Israel's ally, said Hamas should free all hostages to Saturday.
The Prime Minister also said that he ordered the military to collect strength in Gaza and around him, and the army announced shortly after the distribution of additional forces in the south of Israel, including the mobilization of reservists.
Hamas rejects Trump's “threat language”
The official Hamas said earlier on Tuesday that the Israeli hostages could be brought home only if the ceasefire is respected, rejecting the “language of threats” after Trump said that he would do it “Let hell explode” If they were not released.
“Trump must remember that there is an agreement that must be respected by both sides, and this is the only way to restore (Israeli) prisoners. The language of threats has no value and only complicates the matter, “senior Hamas official, Abu Zuhri, said Reuters.
The Palestinian group of Hamas fighters handed over three Israeli hostages, whose emaciated appearance shocked the Israeli, while Israel began to release dozens of Palestinians, on Saturday during the last stage of the weapon suspension agreement aimed at the end of the 15-month war in Gaza.
Until now, 16 out of 33 hostages who will be released in the first 42-day phase of the weapon suspension agreement returned home, as well as five Thailand, who returned in an unplanned edition.
In return, Israel released hundreds of prisoners and detainees, including prisoners serving life sentences for fatal attacks and Palestinians detained during the war and detained without any accusations.
“We can't go back”: Family group of hostages
The group representing the hostage family called Netanyahu to stick to the arms suspension agreement.
“We can't go back. We cannot allow hostages to waste captivity, “said hostages forum in a statement.
According to Israeli media, there are 76 hostages in Gaza in Gaza, over 35 of them considered dead.
The Owierl Minister Smotich, who was among the key ministers who met on Tuesday from Netanyahu, said that if all the hostages were not released until Saturday, the war should resume.
If this happens, water, electricity and help gases should be cut off, and Palestinians should be removed, he said.
“From our aircraft, our artillery, our tanks and our heroic fighters.
About 1,200 people were killed in October 7, 2023, an attack directed by Hamas on the southern community of Israel, and about 250 were taken to Gaza as a hostage, shows Israeli leveled.
Over 48,000 Palestinians were killed during the war, says Gaza Health Ministry, and almost the entire Gaza population 2.3 million in Gaza internally displaced by the conflict.
Gaza, one of the most populated areas in the world, has been devastated by Israel's military offensive. The enclave is missing food, water and shelter and needs billions in foreign help.
Trump meets King Jordan
Trump enraged Palestinians and Arabian leaders and raised the decades of American policy, which supported a possible two -state solution in the region, trying to impose their vision of Gaza.
He said that the United States should take over gauze and lead over two million Palestinian inhabitants so that the enclave could be transformed into the “Middle East Riviera”.
Daising the population under military occupation is a war offense forbidden by the Geneva Conventions of 1949.
US President Donald Trump repeated on Tuesday his vision of displacing people from Gaza, together with King Jordan Abdullah II in Washington on Tuesday, saying that he thinks that Palestinians – who condemned the offer – will welcome his vision.
Trump repeated the idea that the United States should take over gauze and permanently switch residents when he met King Jordan Abdullah II on Tuesday among the broad opposition to his plan among Arab allies of Washington, including Jordan.
Netanyahu, who spoke after the meeting of his security office, said that the group “was satisfied with the revolutionary vision of the president of the future of Gaza.”
The security office is a selected group of ministers that includes defense, national security and foreign affairs.
Palestinians are afraid of repeating what Nakba calls, or a disaster when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians escaped or were expelled during the war in 1948, which accompanied the creation of Israel. Israel denies that they have been forced.
For Jordan, Trump's conversation about the resettlement is dangerously similar to the mass nightmare of Palestinians from both Gaza and the West Brzeg, reflecting the vision of Jordan as an alternative Palestinian house, which has long propagated ultitutionalist Israelis.
Amman's fears are strengthened by a rapid increase in violence on the border with the Western Western shore, where Palestinian hopes of statehood are eroded by the extension of Jewish settlement.
