A ceasefire in Gaza is hanging by a thread. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated, "If Hamas does not release our hostages by Saturday noon, the ceasefire will end, and Israel will resume its violent attacks. This will continue until Hamas is ultimately defeated."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened that the ceasefire would end if Hamas did not release the Israeli hostages in its possession by noon on Saturday, February 15.
"IF HAMAS DOES NOT RELEASE OUR HOSTAGES, ISRAEL WILL RESUME ITS VIOLENT ATTACKS"
Netanyahu announced that he had instructed the Israeli army to reinforce its troops inside and around Gaza following Hamas's announcement that it was suspending the next round of prisoner exchanges. Indicating that soldiers had begun to move to the region, Netanyahu noted the decisions unanimously approved during the security cabinet meeting: "If Hamas does not release our hostages by noon on Saturday, the ceasefire will end, and Israel will resume its violent attacks. This will continue until Hamas is ultimately defeated."
SUPPORT FOR TRUMP'S SCANDALOUS PLAN
Netanyahu stated that they welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump's call for the release of Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip and expressed their appreciation for Trump's plan to relocate Palestinians in Gaza to other countries.
HAMAS'S DECISION TO SUSPEND PRISONER EXCHANGE
Hamas's military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, announced yesterday through spokesperson Abu Ubaida that the prisoner exchange expected to take place on February 15 had been suspended due to Israel's failure to fulfill its commitments under the ceasefire agreement. In Hamas's statement, it was mentioned that the decision to suspend was announced five days before the prisoner exchange, thus providing an opportunity for the mediating countries to exert pressure on Israel to adhere to the ceasefire terms. U.S. President Trump had stated that if all hostages in Gaza were not released by noon on Saturday, the ceasefire should be canceled, using the expression, "Then let all hell break loose."
