President Donald Trump on Monday explicitly threatened Hamas after the militant group paused plans to release more of the Israeli hostages it holds this weekend, telling reporters that “all hell is going to break loose” if all of the Israeli hostages held by the group aren’t freed by noon on Saturday.
He also said the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas should be tossed out if the militant group doesn’t live up to the obligation to release hostages under phase one of the agreement, but he also said it’s up to Israel whether to throw the agreement out.
Trump says ‘let all hell break loose’ if all hostages are not freed by weekend Trump’s threat comes after Hamas said it was pausing the planned release of several hostages.
Trump made the declaration as he addressed reporters during a marathon signing session in the Oval Office on Monday.
“I’m speaking for myself,” Trump said.
