“If Hamas does not return the hostages by 12:00 on Saturday, the ceasefire will be over and the military will resume hostilities,” said Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Israeli Prime Minister made the statement after a meeting of Israel’s security cabinet.

At the same time, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday repeated his statement from Monday that the ceasefire in Gaza should end on Saturday if all hostages are not released.
