US President Donald Trump
President Donald Trump said that if Hamas does not release all the remaining hostages held hostage in Gaza till Saturday afternoon, the uncertain ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas should be canceled. In a statement to journalists while signing a series of executive orders, Trump said that it is eventually dependent on Israel.
Otherwise everything will be ruined
Trump clearly warned that everything would be ruined if the remaining hostages are not released. They fear that many people will be killed. However, Trump also said, “I am speaking for myself.” Israel can cancel it.
There will be delay in release of hostages- Hamas
At the same time, Hamas spokesperson said on Monday that after accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement, it would delay the release of the next hostages. Israel and Hamas are in the middle of a six -week ceasefire. During this time Hamas is releasing dozens of hostages caught in his attack on October 7, 2023 in exchange for about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
21 hostages and more than 730 prisoners released
Since the ceasefire was implemented last month, the two sides have swapped five times, with more than 21 hostages and more than 730 prisoners. The next exchange was scheduled on Saturday, in which three Israeli hostages were released in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
Hamas’s military wing, Al-Qassam Brigade spokesman Abu Obeda on Monday accused Israel of systematically violating the ceasefire agreement in the last three weeks. Also said that Saturday’s release will be delayed.
