Hamas responds to Netanyahu's ultimatum
'We're committed to the ceasefire deal, so long as Israel is,' Hamas terror group claims.

The Hamas terror organization on Tuesday night issued an official response to Israel's ultimatum, under which Hamas will either release hostages on Saturday, as per the deal, or the fighting will restart.
In its announcement, Hamas claimed that it is committed to the ceasefire deal, but that its commitment is dependent on Israel - "as long as the occupation is committed to it."
The terror group also claimed that Israel is not meeting its obligations, and blamed Israel for "delays and complications" in the deal.
Later on Tuesday evening, it was announced that Israel has officially paused talks for the deal's second stage, which would see further Israeli withdrawals from Gaza, additional humanitarian aid - around 50% of which is taken by Hamas - and the release of young men held hostage. A diplomatic source said that the decision was made following Hamas' violation of the agreement, and that "there will not be progress on continued implementation of the deal and negotiations for the second stage without the return of our hostages."
Following the Cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said: "The decision that I passed unanimously in the Cabinet was that if Hamas does not return our hostages by Saturday afternoon, the ceasefire will end, and the IDF will return to forceful fighting until Hamas is finally defeated."

On Monday, US President Donald Trump issued a warning to Hamas and said that if it were up to him, the ceasefire and hostage deal should be cancelled if Hamas does not release all the hostages.
“As far as I'm concerned, if all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday at 12:00 o'clock, I think it's an appropriate time, I would say cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out,” stated Trump.
Commentary:
This is results when you try to deal and negotiate with terrorists - ESPECIALLY Islamic terrorists. They lie as a matter of course - it is commanded of their faith to lie to protect Islam.
Unlike the situation under Biden where the IDF was constrained and kept on a short leash - Trump told Netanyahu to pull out all the stops and finish the job ASAP-it’s gloves off time
To add an exclamation point to Trump's Gazans leave Gaza proposal, the IDF is going make it a point to level what’s little is still standing in Gaza and do everything they can to make it as uninhabitable as possible to facilitate the Trump plan
Qatar has been playing a typical Islamic roll in these negotiations. They're protecting the Hamas terrorists while feigning agreement and compliance with the West, while favoring the actions of the terrorists.
Trump should a message the Qataris that they have 48 hours to turn every single Hamas member over to us or the US Navy will blockade their ports and he will slap a 100% trade embargo on them.
No more screwing around.
Concede totally or face total oblivion...
