"It's 12:00 on Saturday. If the hostages aren't here, all hell will break loose," Trump said.

According to him, all the hostages should be released at once, not in stages:
"Not one, two, three, four. All at once. We want to get them all back. I'm only speaking for myself. Israel can do whatever it wants," he said.

If Hamas doesn't meet the conditions, Trump is recommending that Israel terminate the truce with the organization.

Trump was vague about what the US would do, saying Hamas would soon find out what he meant. He said, “We’ll see what happens” when asked about US military intervention in the conflict.

Trump compared the condition of the released prisoners to the victims of the massacre: “They were like concentration camp prisoners. They were in very bad shape, they were exhausted. I don’t know how long they can keep this up.”

A day earlier, Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement, including by launching airstrikes on Palestinians in Gaza, and said the release of the hostages would be postponed until next Saturday.

"Over the past three weeks, we have witnessed the enemy's constant violation of the terms of the agreement," Abu Ubaydah, a spokesman for the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, wrote on his Telegram channel.

He noted that in this regard, Hamas has decided to postpone the return of the prisoners to Israel, which were expected to be released on February 15, until further notice. He added that Israel must abide by the terms of the agreement and compensate for the damage caused in recent weeks. The next exchange is scheduled for Saturday, in which it was planned to release three Israeli hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

Abu Ubaydah, who accused Israel of systematically violating the agreement, said the charges include “delaying the return of displaced Palestinians to northern Gaza, airstrikes and shelling of various areas of the strip, and failing to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid in accordance with the agreements.”

Under the terms of the peace deal, Hamas was to release 33 Israeli prisoners. In return, Israel was to return 1,900 Palestinian prisoners. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
