Alert – Hamas’s astonishing response as Donald Trump threatens to ‘unleash Hell’ if they do not release ALL remaining hostages on Saturday in game-changing move

Hamas has astonishingly lashed out at Donald Trump’s threat to ‘let all hell break out’ if the terror group does not return all the remaining Israeli hostages on Saturday.

A Hamas spokesman said there was no place ‘for the language of threats’ – roughly 14 months after the terror group slaughtered more than 1,100 Israelis during the October 7 incursion, while also kidnapping and raping hundreds. 

Last night the group said it was indefinitely scrapping a scheduled hostage release, claiming Israel had violated the ceasefire agreement that was agreed last month. 

Trump told reporters late on Monday night that while the decision ultimately rests on Israel’s shoulders, ‘as far as I’m concerned, if all of the hostages aren’t returned by Saturday 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.’

Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior spokesperson for the terror group known for its tight stranglehold over the Gaza Strip, boldly claimed that Trump’s comments did nothing but make the negotiation for the end of the war harder.  

‘The language of threats has no value and further complicates matters’, Zuhri remarked.

He added that Trump needed to ‘remember that there is an agreement that must be respected by both parties and this is the only way to return the prisoners.’ 

As part of the ceasefire agreement, Hamas promised to release 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and an end to the hostilities.

Three of those hostages were set to be released on Saturday, but Hamas has claimed that Israel has not lived up to its side of the deal, citing recent Israeli shelling and gunfire in Gaza, as well as an insufficient flow of aid.

It added that it had announced the delay five days before the scheduled release to allow time for negotiations. 

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, however, said any delay in the release of hostages would represent a ‘complete violation’ of the ceasefire agreement, and warned that Israel’s military would assume its ‘highest level of readiness,’ the Washington Post reports.

It added that it had announced the delay five days before the scheduled release to allow time for negotiations. 

It is currently unclear how many of the 76 hostages that remain in Hamas’ control are still alive. 

An elderly Israeli man taken hostage by Hamas militants on October 7, 2023, was declared dead by his kibbutz this morning.

‘With heavy hearts, we, the members of the kibbutz, received the news this morning about the murder of our dear friend, Shlomo Mansour, 86 years old, who was kidnapped from his home in Kibbutz Kissufim during the Hamas terror attack on October 7, 2023,’ the community said of the Iraqi-born Israeli.

The Israeli military said in a statement on Tuesday that the ‘decision to confirm his death was based on intelligence gathered in recent months’.

One of the founders of Kibbutz Kissufim, Mansour was kidnapped from a henhouse during Hamas’s attack on southern Israel.

His wife Mazal Mansour, with whom he lived for 60 years, managed to escape the attack. The couple have five children.

‘This is one of the most difficult days in the history of our kibbutz,’ the community said in a statement.

Hamas announced Monday it was scrapping a scheduled release of three more hostages

President Donald Trump threatened Hamas that he would cancel Israel's ceasefire on Gaza

'Shlomo was much more than a community member to us - he was a father, grandfather, a true friend and the beating heart of Kissufim.'

'Our hearts are broken that we couldn't bring him back to us alive'.

The kibbutz called on the Israeli government and world leaders 'to continue acting with determination to bring back all the hostages, both the living and the dead, and not to allow painful stories like Shlomo's to repeat themselves'.

A group representing the families of the hostages said it has 'urgently requested' help from other countries to restore and implement the hostage deal.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum pointed to the emaciated appearances of Ohad Ben Ami, Eli Sharabi and Or Levy, who were released on Saturday.

They appeared to be in worse condition than the 18 other hostages that were previously freed under the truce. 

There are 17 more hostages that Hamas had agreed to release, and a total of 73 still being held in Gaza - though Israeli officials fear many may be dead.

'Recent evidence from those released, as well as the shocking conditions of the hostages released last Saturday, leaves no room for doubt - time is of the essence,' The Hostages and Missing Families Forum said.

Concerns about the hostages grew after  Or Levy, Eliyahu Sharabi, and Ohad Ben Ami appeared gaunt on Saturday

Under the ceasefire agreement, Hamas vowed to release 33 Israeli hostages. Ofer Kalderon was reunited with his children at Sheba hospital in Ramat Gan on February 1

The three released hostages' appearances also apparently made Trump uncomfortable, telling reporters on Sunday he was losing patience with the ceasefire deal after seeing the footage of Ben Ami, Sharabi and Levy being led on stage.

'They look like Holocaust survivors,' he said of the freed hostages. 'They were in horrible condition. They were emaciated.

'I don't know how much longer we can take that... at some point we're going to lose our patience.' 

The freed hostages have since claimed they were hung by their feet, throttled with a rope and branded.

They also said they were deliberately starved, held in a room inside a tunnel so tiny they could not move nor stand and were left struggling for air. 

After days without food or water they were handed rotten pita bread which they were made to share with others. 

'We were treated like animals,' one said on being released.

The terrorists also allegedly subjected the men to barbaric interrogation sessions over 491 days in captivity.

Hamas and Israel were due to start discussing a second phase of the ceasefire on February 3

Yet negotiations for a second phase of the ceasefire - which would allow for more hostages to be released appear to be slow moving, even after Israeli forces withdrew Sunday from a Gaza corridor in the latest commitment to the truce.

They were due to start on February 3, but it is unclear if any progress has been made.

Apparently adding to the concerns were Trump's remarks that the United States would buy Gaza and turn it into the 'Riviera of the Middle East'. 

He insisted that neighbouring Arab countries would agree to take the Palestinians currently living in the Gaza Strip - though Egypt and Jordan have long expressed reservations about the idea.

The Palestinian Authority also insisted last month that it should be the sole governing power in Gaza after the war, and expressed dismay at the proposal of moving Palestinians from their homeland.

Still, Trump said Palestinians would have no right of return to Gaza under his US takeover plan, describing his proposal in excerpts of an interview released Monday as a 'real estate development for the future.'
