The Jerusalem Post reports: “If Hamas does not release the Israeli hostages by Saturday, all hell will break loose, exactly as US President Donald Trump promised, Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday.

Katz also threatened Hamas terrorists, stating that ‘if they stop releasing the hostages, then there is no agreement, and there is war.’

‘The new Gaza war will be different in intensity from the one before the ceasefire – and it will not end without Hamas’ defeat and the release of all the hostages,’ Katz said.

‘Every ceasefire agreement with Hamas terrorists was meant to secure the swift release of the Israeli hostages, who are being held under the harshest conditions in Gaza,’ Katz stated.

Israel ‘agreed to pay a heavy price in return,’ he added…”
