Netanyahu Warns War Will Resume if Hostages Are Not Returned by Saturday

Background

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Tuesday that if Hamas does not release the hostages by Saturday at noon, the ceasefire deal will end, and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will resume “intense fighting until Hamas is defeated.”

After a four-hour security cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlined Israel’s next steps, following Hamas’s suspension of the hostages’ release. In a video statement, Netanyahu confirmed that Hamas “breached the deal” by announcing its decision not to release the hostages. This announcement came after the political and security cabinet convened to discuss the situation.

“I have just concluded an in-depth four-hour discussion in the security cabinet. We all expressed outrage at the appalling condition of the three hostages who were released last Saturday,” Netanyahu said.

The security cabinet, according to Netanyahu, “welcomed President Trump’s demand for the release of our hostages by Saturday noon, and we all also welcomed the president’s revolutionary vision for the future of Gaza.”

“We also all welcomed President Trump’s demand for the release of our hostages by noon on Saturday, and we also welcomed the president’s revolutionary vision for the future of Gaza,” Netanyahu noted.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that if Hamas does not return the hostages by Saturday at noon, the ceasefire will end, and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will resume intense fighting until Hamas is ultimately defeated.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “open the gates of hell” on Hamas if the terror group fails to meet President Trump’s demand for the release of all hostages by Saturday.

Meanwhile, the IDF Southern Command is finalizing battle plans for the Gaza Strip in case the ceasefire-hostage deal with Hamas collapses, according to the military.

Currently, two IDF divisions, the 162nd Division and Gaza Division, are responsible for defenses along the Gaza border and the Philadelphi Corridor. Since last night, several brigades and special forces units have been deployed to the Southern Command to reinforce the existing forces.

The military describes the bolstering of troops as “extensive,” including the call-up of reservists. “The reinforcements of troops and mobilization of reservists are being carried out in preparation for various scenarios,” the IDF says.
