US President Donald Trump has given Hamas an ultimatum to release all remaining hostages by Saturday or risk 'letting hell break out'. Trump warned that if the hostages are not returned by the deadline, he would allow Israel to cancel the ongoing cease-fire. Hamas had previously threatened to postpone the exchange of hostages under the ceasefire deal with Israel. The truce, which began on January 19, has largely halted more than 15 months of fighting in the Gaza Strip.
