US President Donald Trump has once again hinted that fighting in Gaza could start any time. He said on Friday (local time) that he was not sure what would happen if Hamas did not release hostages being held in Gaza by noon on Saturday.
He said everything will be over. He reiterated his call on Hamas to release the hostages. Speaking to reporters, Trump talked about the hostages released last week and how weakened they have become after being held captive in Gaza. He said that Hamas had treated the hostages very badly.
Asked about his earlier deadline for the release of the hostages, Trump said, “I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow at 12 o’clock.” It’s up to me. I will take a very tough stance. I can’t tell you what Israel is going to do.He said that I saw people coming out of captivity of Hamas, there was a boy among them who was very weak. I have seen him for a long time, and he has been treated very badly.
