Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to end the Gaza ceasefire if Hamas does not release Israeli hostages by Saturday. Hamas announced it would not release three Israelis this weekend, citing alleged ceasefire violations by Israel. Netanyahu said the Israeli military is prepared to resume “intense fighting” until Hamas is “finally defeated.” Former U.S. President Donald Trump predicted Hamas would miss the deadline and suggested Israel should “let hell break out.” Meanwhile, Trump hosted Jordan’s King Abdullah amid tensions over his Gaza resettlement plan. Israel has so far freed hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in the exchange.
