President Trump warned the Hamas terror group Monday night to release all remaining hostages by noon Saturday, or he would allow Israel to cancel the ongoing cease-fire and “let hell break out” in the Middle East.
“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,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office, without specifying what time zone the deadline would apply to.
“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 dribs 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.”
Trump did not rule out sending in US troops to the region — telling reporters “we’ll see what happens” — and did not expand on what he meant by “all hell is going to break out.”
“You’ll find out, and they’ll find out too. Hamas will find out what I mean,” Trump told reporters, not revealing whether he wanted to use Israeli or US military force.
Hamas announced earlier Monday it was scrapping a scheduled hostage release, arguing that Israel had not lived up to its side of the deal.
Abu Obeida, a spokesperson for Hamas’ military section, said the terror group wanted something in return for Israel allegedly breaking its cease-fire agreement.
“Hostages who were scheduled to be released next Saturday … will be postponed until further notice, and until the occupation commits to and compensates for the entitlements of the past

Time to squash these cockroaches.
Did he check with the President judges?
I JUST LOVE “strategic uncertainty”.
ROFL That’ll be the day!
HIGH NOON!!!!!
I vote for a dozen B-52’s. Let HAMAS know they’ve taken off, and keep them updated on air to air refueling and other major waypoints. Explain that you don’t believe they have any more hostages alive, and that once the Buff’s are over Gaza, they are dropping. Then have one B52 drop it’s load every hour until they produce the hostages or are buried under the rubble.
It seems they are begging Trump to clear Gaza of all standing structures and start site preparations for Mara Gaza. Or will it be Gaza Lago?
I think they picked a bad time to discover they have already killed all the other hostages.
Step 1 in Trump FAFO Doctrine
Flatten Gaza and then bring in the bulldozers.
Right. Hamas will go to federal court and get a judge to issue an injunction against any breaking out of hell by PDJT.
Get rid of the savage Fakestinian murder gangsters. All of them. No more delaying. Now!!!
Y’all ever see the movie “Kidnapped”?
Mel Gibson did it right, rather the script did.
Don’t pay the kidnappers, pay people to hunt down and kill ALL the kidnappers. That has legal problems but I would have done it!
You are essentially writing off the lives of the kidnapped victims, but historically most kidnap victims never get out alive.
Only New York would think that the time zone is the issue.
If Hamas had even the tenuous grasp with reality they would have released every American the minute Trump took office.
02.27.25 is the next new moon and Israel owns the dark.
Let the balloon go up.
fafo
If they hold a single US hostage, annihilate them come the deadline. Every single member of Hamas must be executed and all of their accomplices regardless of whether they’re US or other nations’ citizens. Annihilate Hamas.
