President Donald Trump endangered Hamas that he would chat -the fires of Israel on Gaza and 'let everything break off' if all 76 remaining hostages are not released on Saturday by noon.
The president made the comments when he signed in the Oval Office in the Oval Office on Monday evening, after the terror group had announced that it was a planned hostage release, according to the New York Post.
But he noticed that the decision to end the stop – fires – that came into force on January 20 – is ultimately with the Israeli government.
“I speak for myself,” he said, according to The Times of Israel. “Israel can ignore it.”
As part of the Stako -Fire Agreement, Hamas promised 33 to release 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and an end to the hostilities.
Three more hostages would be released on Saturday, but Hamas claimed that Israel did not deliver on his side of the deal, referring to recent Israeli shelling and gunfire in Gaza, as well as insufficient aid flow.
It added that it had announced the delay five days before the planned release to allow time for negotiations.
The Israeli Minister of Defense Israel Katz, however, said that any delay in the release of hostages would represent a 'full violation' of the ceasefire -the -fire agreement agreement and warned that the army of Israel would assume its 'highest level of clearance', the reports the Washington Post.

Hamas announced on Monday that it deleted a planned release of three more hostages
At the same time, however, a group that represents the families of the hostages has asked that 'urgent' help from other countries to restore and implement the deal.
The forum of hostages and missing families pointed to the emaciated performances by Ohad Ben Ami, Eli Sharabi and or Levy, which were released on Saturday.
They seemed to be in poorer condition than the 18 other hostages who were previously released under the truce.
There are still 17 hostages that Hamas had agreed to release, and a total of 73 are still held in Gaza – although Israeli officials fear that many may be dead.
“Recent evidence of the released, as well as the shocking circumstances of the hostages released last Saturday, leaves no room for doubt – time is essential,” said the Forum of High Units and Missing Families.
The performances of the three hostages released apparently also made Trump uncomfortable, and on Sunday told reporters that he lost patience with the ceasefire -the -Fires Deal after seeing the images of Ben Ami, Sharabi and Levy who were led on stage.
“They look like survivors of Holocaust,” he said about the liberated hostages. “They were in terrible condition. They were starving.
