Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the government's unanimous decision was that "if Hamas does not return the hostages by noon on Saturday," without specifying the number, "the ceasefire will be broken and the IDF will return to intense fighting until Hamas is finally defeated."

Netanyahu added that "in light of Hamas's announcement of its decision to violate the agreement and not release our hostages, last night I ordered the IDF to rally forces in and around the Gaza Strip."

The Tel Aviv government finds support in Washington: Donald Trump reiterated his ultimatum to Hamas for the release of "all" hostages on Saturday. Yesterday he had threatened "hell" in case of failure to respect the commitment.
