Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to withdraw from the ceasefire in Gaza and mobilized troops in preparation for a potential resumption of fighting with Hamas if the militant group does not release more hostages by Saturday. Hamas, however, has accused Israel of violating the ceasefire terms and pledged to delay the release of three hostages. U.S. President Donald Trump has called for the release of all remaining hostages by Saturday, escalating tensions and raising concerns about the ceasefire's stability.
JERUSALEM — Israel i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday threatened to withdraw from the ceasefire in Gaza and directed troops to prepare to resume fighting Hamas if the militant group does not release more hostages on Saturday. Hamas said Monday — and reiterated Tuesday — that it planned to delay the release of three more hostages after accusing Israel of failing to meet the terms of the ceasefire, including by not allowing an agreed-upon number of tents and other aid into Gaza .
“Trump must remember there is an agreement that must be respected by both parties. This is the only way to bring back prisoners,” Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said Tuesday. “The language of threats has no value; it only complicates matters.”The group later condemned Trump's White House remarks, saying they amounted to a “call for ethnic cleansing” and accusing Trump of seeking to “liquidate the Palestinian cause and deny the national rights of the Palestinian people.
