Trump tells Hamas to release hostages by noon Saturday
Noon Saturday is the deadline just announced by President Trump for Israeli hostages to be released.
After a fresh batch of executive orders from the Oval Office Monday night, President Donald Trump said that the hostages still being held by Hamas must be returned by Saturday at 12 o’clock or the ceasefire deal should be canceled and all hell will break loose.
When asked what that means he responded, “they’ll find out.”
Remarking on the reality of the crisis he said that he believes a lot of them are dead already.
When asked if he would commit U.S. troops he did not commit.
“As far as I’m concerned if all of the hostages aren’t returned by Saturday at 12 o’clock — I think it’s an appropriate time — I would say, cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out,” Trump said. “I’d say they ought to be returned by 12 o’clock on Saturday. And if they’re not returned — all of them, not in drips and drabs, not two and one and three and four and two — by Saturday at 12 o’clock. And after that, I would say, all hell is going to break out.”
He said that he was speaking for himself and that Israel can override his decision.
When asked what he meant by “all hell will break out,” he said, “You’ll find out, and they’ll find out too. Hamas will find out what I mean,” he said.
