Sharing a message on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump noted that the U.S. would stand behind Israel's decision regarding the release of only 3 hostages by Hamas. Setting a condition for 'all' Israeli hostages to be released by 12:00 noon on February 15, Trump claimed that Hamas had previously announced they would not release any hostages, stating that the situation appeared different from last week.
In his social media post, Trump used the following expressions:
''Hamas has released 3 hostages in Gaza. (The hostages) appear to be in good condition. This looks different from the statement (Hamas) made last week that 'they would not release any hostages.' Now Israel has to make a decision regarding the final deadline set for all hostages to be released by 12:00 noon today. The United States will support the decision they make.''
TRUMP'S 'ALL HELL BREAK LOOSE' OUTBURST
In his statement at the White House, Trump alleged that Hamas was treating the hostages poorly and that the released hostages were in bad condition. Arguing that 'the ceasefire agreement could end if the remaining hostages in Hamas's hands are not released,' Trump made the 'All hell break loose' statement regarding the possibility of the hostages not being freed.
Trump implied that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could target Gaza again. Trump said, ''Israel's patience is running out. I don't know what will happen if Hamas does not release the hostages.''
Accusing Hamas of not keeping its word, Trump expressed the following:
''If it were me, I would take a very tough stance. Hamas has completely changed. Now they want to release the hostages, but you have to see that this started with them saying 'we will not release the prisoners'.''
