The United States President Donald Trump said on Monday that Israel should end the ceasefire in Gaza and resume military action if all the hostages are not issued by the end of the week, the Times of Israel told .
This came after Hamas announced a delay in issuing the hostages set for Saturday. Speaking with reporters, Trump said that Israel could choose to disregard his/her ultimatum and Saturday afternoon time limit, saying that he/she could talk to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“As far as I am concerned, if all the hostages are not returned till 12 noon on Saturday, then I think this is a proper time. I will say, cancel it and all the bets are closed and break the hell Give it that I would say that they should be returned by 12 o’clock on Saturday.
A few hours after Hamas’s announcement, Trump’s comments came, its objective was to delay the next release of Israeli hostages planned for Saturday, “until the next notice” in response that Israeli’s ongoing hostage-limit The deal was a violation of Israel, the Times of Israel.

“We confirm our commitment to the terms of the agreement until the business comes to him/her,” he/she said.
Later, Hamas issued a statement that claimed that there was still a chance for planned release to proceed as basically determined. The group described the delay as a “warning” for Israel, which aims to “fully respect” the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
“By issuing this statement five days before the scheduled prisoner handover, the purpose of Hamas is to give enough time to the mediators to pressurize the occupation to fulfill their obligations. According to CNN, it also leaves the door open for the exchange to proceed according to the plan, provided that the business is complied with.
On Monday, Trump also compared Hamas to be the hostage of Holocosts, in a video shared by the White House.
In the video, Trump said, “Hamas has been a disaster. By the way, I have to tell you that I saw that I came back to the hostages today and they looked like Holocost left. They were in terrible position. They were weak. ,
Trump said, “… he/she is cruelly treated. Even those who came out earlier were in a slightly better size, but were mentally treated so badly. Who can take? You know, at some point we are going to lose our patience. When I look at the scene I have seen today that people are with people coming out of helicopters and airplanes who are weak, it seems that they have not eaten in a month. There is no reason for this. ,
