U.S. President Donald Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to release hell fire in the Middle-East if Hamas fails to release all remaining hostages by noon on Saturday.
Trump warned the Hamas terror group to release all remaining hostages latest by then, 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 was speaking with journalists on in the Oval Office, but did not specify 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,” he said.
Trump also did not rule out sending U.S. troops to the region.
“We’ll see what happens — all hell is going to break out.
“You’ll find out, and they’ll find out too.
“Hamas will find out what I mean,” he said.
He however did not reveal whether he was referring to Israeli or U.S. military force.
Trump later said he was speaking for “myself” and emphasised that Israel had the right to “override” any statement he made.
“But from myself, Saturday at 12 o’clock, and if they’re not, they’re not here, all hell is going to break out,” the president reiterated.
Trump said he feared many, if not all, of the dozens of remaining hostages were dead and accused Hamas of mistreating those who had been released.
Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami and Or Levy — three Israelis who were given freedom by Hamas on Saturday — were severely malnutritioned and had lost significant weight while being held captive during the last 16 months.
