The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is at risk of collapsing as President Trump has warned that “all hell is going to break out” if Hamas does not release all remaining hostages. The war in Gaza has been paused with a complex agreement in place for the exchange of hostages and prisoners. Hamas has postponed the next swap, accusing Israel of continuing to shoot at Palestinians and delaying aid.
Trump demanded that all remaining hostages, including the 44 believed to be alive, be released by Saturday or the ceasefire should be canceled. His statements have raised concerns among international observers, Palestinians in Gaza, and the families of the hostages. The United Nations secretary-general urged Hamas to proceed with the planned release of captives and for both sides to abide by the ceasefire agreement.
Trump’s statements about permanently removing Palestinians from Gaza for real estate development have caused further alarm. He hinted at revoking aid to Egypt and Jordan if they refuse to relocate Gaza’s population. This has led to Israel increasing its security measures and preparing for any possible scenario in Gaza.
Trump’s implied threat has received support from far-right nationalist lawmakers in Israel, while many of the hostages’ families are desperate for the ceasefire to continue. They have appealed to Trump to ensure the deal proceeds. The situation remains tense as the ceasefire hangs in the balance.
