TRUMP SAYS “ALL HELL IS GOING TO BREAK OUT,” IF REMAINING HOSTAGES AREN’T RELEASED BY HAMAS

Tue 11 February 2025:

US President Donald Trump proposed the cancelation of the Gaza ceasefire between Israel and Hamas if all the hostages in the Strip are not released by Saturday at noon.

“As far as I’m concerned, if all of the hostages aren’t returned by Saturday at 12 o’clock — I think it’s an appropriate time — I would say, cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out. I’d say they ought to be returned by 12 o’clock on Saturday,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday.

“And if they’re not returned — all of them, not in drips and drabs, not two and one and three and four and two – Saturday at 12 o’clock. And after that, I would say, all hell is going to break out,” he added.

Trump said he thinks a lot of the hostages are “dead.”

“I would say, Saturday at 12, we want them all back. I’m speaking for myself. Israel can override it, but from myself, Saturday at 12 o’clock, and if they’re not here, all hell is going to break out,” he warned.

Responding to a question about an American hostage still being held in Gaza, Trump said it is time to release everybody.

“They’re not going to be alive right now, based on what I saw over the last two days. They’re not going to be for long. Saturday at 12 o’clock, and after that, it’s going to be a different ball game,” he said.

Asked whether he meant retaliation from Israel when he said “all hell will break out,” he said: “You’ll find out, and they’ll find out too. Hamas will find out what I mean…These are sick people, and they’ll find out what I mean Saturday at 12.”

On whether he could rule out any US involvement after the Saturday deadline, he said: “We’ll see what happens.”

He also said he will consider cancelling aid to Jordan and Egypt if they do not accept Palestinians being relocated from Gaza.

“Yeah, maybe. Sure, why not? If they don’t, I would conceivably withhold aid, yes,” he said.

Asked how he will convince Jordan’s king to take in more Palestinians, Trump said: “I do think he’ll take, and I think other countries will take also. They have good hearts.”

Trump is expected to meet with Jordan’s King Abdullah II on Tuesday in Washington, DC amid heightened regional tensions, particularly over the president’s proposal to relocate Gazans to Jordan and Egypt, which has drawn sharp criticism.
