Hamas has issued a stark warning, threatening to execute Israeli hostages if Israel resumes military operations in Gaza. This announcement follows President Donald Trump's ultimatum demanding the immediate release of all hostages, both living and deceased, accompanied by threats of severe repercussions against Hamas. The militant group's spokesperson, Abu Ubaida, accused Israel of "bullying, stalling, and reckless aggression," asserting that Israeli threats would not secure the captives' release. He cautioned that any escalation would result in the killing of enemy captives. Currently, Israel estimates that 24 hostages remain alive in Gaza, including 22 Israelis, one Thai, and one Nepali national. The situation remains highly volatile as ceasefire negotiations falter, with both sides exchanging threats and demands.
