Netanyahu's Ultimatum: Release Hostages Or War Resumes

Netanyahu has issued an ultimatum stating Israel will end the ceasefire and resume fighting in Gaza if Hamas fails to release hostages by Saturday at noon, marking the most serious crisis in the ceasefire agreement since its January signing.Hamas announced an indefinite postponement of the planned release of three hostages, claiming Israel violated the ceasefire terms, though this action would constitute a breach of the existing agreement.President Trump has taken a more aggressive stance, calling for Hamas to release all 76 remaining hostages - a demand that goes beyond the current ceasefire agreement's specifications.Israeli officials have clarified that Netanyahu isn't demanding the release of all hostages, but rather wants to continue implementing the first phase if Hamas releases the three hostages as originally agreed.The current agreement's first phase includes plans to release nine more live hostages and return the remains of eight deceased hostages over the next three weeks.Hamas has responded to Netanyahu's ultimatum by stating they will maintain the ceasefire if Israel upholds its commitments, while accusing Israel of various violations including delayed Palestinian returns to northern Gaza.Israeli negotiating team leaders have advised Netanyahu and other ministers against escalation, suggesting they work with Qatari and Egyptian mediators to resolve the crisis.President Trump has proposed a controversial "Gaza takeover" plan that includes relocating Palestinians, suggesting both Jordan and Egypt should provide land for resettlement.King Abdullah of Jordan announced plans to accept 2,000 Palestinian children for medical treatment, while maintaining opposition to any permanent displacement of Palestinians.Arab nations, including Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, are planning to develop an alternative proposal for Gaza's reconstruction that doesn't involve Palestinian displacement.
