Israel on Wednesday threatened to launch a “new” war on Hamas and implement the plan of US President Donald Trump’s Palestinians from the Gaza Strip if terrorists do not hold hostage later this week.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz’s comment shortly after, Palestinian Group Hamas said that it would not have to bow down to us and Israel’s “dangers” on the release of hostages under a delicate trusa deal.
The arbitration Qatar and Egypt were insisting on reviving the ceasefire agreement that came under influence last month, a diplomat familiar with a Palestinian source and talks, while Hamas said that Hamas said that his top negotiaters were in Cairo.
The Trus has stopped the fight over 15 months on a large scale and has seen the Israeli captive in small groups in exchange for Palestinians in Israeli custody.
But the deal is currently under increasing stress, in the first phase of its 42-day.
The warnings, which have not yet agreed to the next stages of the Trus, have traded allegations of violations, completing the concern that violence could resume.
Katz said that Israel would resume its war if Hamas fails to free the captive on Saturday, when a sixth hostage-prison exchange was determined under the terms of the agreement.
Hamas has said that it would postpone the release citing Israeli violations, and hours later, Trump warned that the “hell” would be loose if the Palestinian terrorist failed to release the “all” hostages until then.
If the battle begins again, Katz said, “The new Gaza war … will not end without the defeat of Hamas and the release of all the hostages.”
“This will also allow Gaza to achieve the vision of US President Trump for Gaza,” he said.
Israel has repeatedly vowed to leave Hamas and leave all the hostages since the Palestinian Group’s attack on October 7, 2023, which triggered the war.
International Crisis Group analyst Marv Zoncsein told AFP that despite his public disputes, the warnings were still interested in maintaining the Trus and “not yet given anything”.
“They are just playing power games,” he said.

United Nations chief Antonio Gutres has urged Hamas to proceed with a planned release and “avoid re -starting enmity in Gaza”.
