‘All hell’ will break lose: Trump warns of chaos if Hamas fails to release Gaza hostages

Hamas hostage standoff threatens Israel-Hamas ceasefire

President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning that the Israel-Hamas ceasefire should be canceled if Hamas fails to release all remaining hostages by Saturday at noon. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump described Hamas’s delay as “terrible” and asserted that, if hostages are not freed by the deadline, “all bets are off, and all hell is going to break out.”

Trump made it clear that the final decision rests with Israel, but his stance signals a shift toward a more aggressive policy if Hamas does not comply.

Trump’s Gaza takeover proposal sparks controversy

Amid ongoing discussions about Gaza’s future, Trump has proposed a radical plan for US control over Gaza, envisioning it as the “Riviera of the Middle East.” Under this plan, Palestinians displaced by the conflict would not have a right to return to Gaza, instead being relocated to “safe communities” built elsewhere.

In a Fox News interview, Trump framed Gaza as a real estate development opportunity rather than a humanitarian crisis, stating, “It would be a beautiful piece of land. No big money spent.”

Arab nations reject Trump’s vision for Gaza

Jordan and Egypt have strongly rejected Trump’s proposal, citing concerns over national security and regional stability. Egypt issued a statement emphasizing Palestinian rights, and Jordan’s King Abdullah II is set to discuss the matter with Trump in Washington this week.

Arab nations argue that Trump’s plan undermines the two-state solution and raises serious security concerns about permanently relocating thousands of Palestinian refugees.

US aid to Jordan and Egypt at risk

In a dramatic escalation, Trump threatened to cut US aid to Jordan and Egypt if they refused to accept displaced Palestinians. When asked whether he would withhold billions in US assistance, Trump replied: “Maybe. If they don’t agree, I would conceivably withhold it.”

Military involvement on the table?

When pressed on whether the US military might be involved in securing Gaza, Trump remained vague, stating, “Hamas will find out what I mean.” However, he did not rule out deploying US troops.

Hamas and Palestinian leaders condemn Trump’s plan

Senior Hamas official Izzat al-Rishq dismissed Trump’s remarks as “absurd” and accused him of treating Palestine like a real estate transaction. He warned that Palestinians “will thwart all transfer and deportation plans.”

Trump’s proposal could jeopardize the ceasefire

Trump’s provocative stance on Gaza and threats to cut aid to allies have introduced new uncertainties into the fragile six-week ceasefire that began on January 19. Critics argue that his hardline approach could escalate tensions rather than secure peace.

With Trump’s ultimatum to Hamas, growing pressure on Arab allies, and a proposal for US control over Gaza, the Middle East faces a critical turning point. Whether Israel, Hamas, and Arab nations will comply or resist remains to be seen.
