DON'S WARNING

Trump’s chilling ultimatum to Hamas as he calls for all Gaza hostages to be freed this week or ‘all hell break loose’

It comes as Trump continues to speak about his plans to redevelop the Gaza Strip

PRESIDENT Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum to Hamas as he warns all hell is going to break out if they refuse to hand over the final hostages.

The Republican said the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel should be cancelled if the remaining hostages are not all released by 12pm on Saturday.

Trump added he fears that many of the remaining captives are dead before saying any move is ultimately up to Israel.

His comments come just hours after terror group Hamas announced they are delaying any further hostage releases.

They accused Israel of violating the fragile ceasefire pact which only started three weeks ago.

Israel and Hamas agreed to a six-week deal which would see 33 hostages ruthlessly snatched on October 7, finally returned home to their loved ones.

So far, 21 captives have been safely handed over since January 19 in five separate groups.

Trump made his Gaza comments to reporters as he signed a huge number of executive orders in The White House.

One of these is aimed at encouraging the US government and consumers to purchase plastic straws opposed to paper ones. 

Trump has been vocal on his thoughts on Gaza and the current war in the Middle East since returning to office in January.

Last week, the President surprised the world when he said the US should take over the decimated Gaza Strip and create his vision of a “Riviera of the Middle East”.

Trump's idea included relocating two million Palestinians to neighbouring countries like Jordan and Egypt while the US reconstructs the area he called a “demolition site”.

He said he would turn Gaza into the "most spectacular development on Earth” but Palestinians have argued they will reconstruct the area themselves.
