Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, promised “relentless action” to free the hostages held in Gaza after Hamas announced it would postpone their release until further notice.
Trump, the president of the United States, has stated that Israel should revoke the ceasefire and “let hell break out” if Hamas does not free all of the hostages by Saturday noon.
A Hamas spokesperson responds that “the language of threats has no value and only complicates matters.”
Although it’s too soon to predict if this well planned and negotiated procedure will end, Paul Adams of the BBC reports that the truce is becoming more and more strained following a generally pleasant start.
In the first phase of the ceasefire, 17 Israeli hostages were still scheduled to be freed, eight of whom Israel claims are dead.Israel has released hundreds of Palestinian inmates thus far.
Trump threatens to stop providing funding to Jordan and Egypt if they don’t cooperate with his plan to seize control of Gaza and resettle the population in both countries, ahead of a later meeting with King Abdullah of Jordan.
