President Donald Trump warned that if Hamas does not release all hostages by noon on Saturday, he will push for the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip to be revoked, stating that he is prepared to "let all hell break out."
Trump made the remarks on Monday evening after signing a series of executive orders in the Oval Office.
When asked if he felt the ceasefire deal should be canceled, the president said that is "Israel’s decision."
"If all the Gaza hostages aren't returned by Saturday at 12 p.m., I would say cancel the ceasefire," Trump said in the Oval Office. "Let all hell break out; Israel can override it."
Trump stressed that Hamas needs to release "all of them—not in drips and drabs."
"Saturday at 12pm and after that, I would say, all hell is going to break out," Trump said.
A Hamas spokesperson said Monday that the terrorist group will delay the next planned release of hostages in the Gaza Strip after accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement.
