Free Press - How much longer will the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas hold? To listen to Donald Trump, the answer is no later than Saturday—unless
all of the remaining hostages are released. Trump issued his ultimatum
while taking questions from reporters in the Oval Office on Monday
afternoon.“If they’re not returned—all of them, not in drips and drabs. . . Saturday at 12 o’clock,” said Trump. “After that, I would say all hell is going to break out.”
CNN - Hamas
has postponed the next hostage release scheduled to take place in Gaza
on Saturday "until further notice," accusing Israel of breaking the ceasefire deal.
Israel described the postponement as a "complete violation of the
ceasefire" and called on the Israeli military to prepare for "any
possible scenario" in Gaza. President Trump, meanwhile, urged Israel to
cancel the ceasefire and "let all hell break out" unless Hamas releases all remaining hostages by noon Saturday. Trump is also set to meet with King Abdullah of Jordan
at the White House today — a week after proposing a new plan to seize
control of Gaza and push Jordan and Egypt to accept millions of new
Palestinian refugees.
Washington Post - President Donald Trump said Monday he would consider withholding aid from Jordan and Egypt if they do not comply with his request to take in Palestinians from Gaza, further pushing his controversial plan for the United States to “take over” and “own” the Gaza Strip to rebuild it, displacing the people who live there to another “permanent place” in the process.
When asked by a reporter Monday whether he would withhold aid from Egypt and Jordan if they did not take in Palestinians, he answered: “Yeah, maybe, sure, why not? If they don’t, I would conceivably withhold aid, yes.” Jordan’s leader, King Abdullah II, is set to meet the president in Washington on Tuesday.
