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 12:00 o'clock. And after that, I would say all hell is going to break out,” he added. However, Trump also acknowledged that such a decision would be up to Israel, saying, “I'm speaking for myself. Israel can override it.” Trump's warning followed a declaration by Hamas spokesperson Abu Obaida that the terrorist organization would postpone the next release of hostages , claiming that Israel violated the terms of the agreement.
