Trump Says "All Hell Is Going to Break Out" If Hamas Doesn't Release All Hostages by Saturday


(CNN) Kevin Liptak - After Hamas threatened to postpone the next hostage release scheduled to take place on Saturday, President Donald Trump said Monday, "As far as I'm concerned, if all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday at 12 o'clock...I would say, cancel [the ceasefire deal] and all bets are off....If they're not returned - all of them, not in drips and drabs, not two and one and three and four and two...all hell is going to break out." When asked if Palestinians would have a right to return to Gaza under his plan, Trump told Fox News, "No, they wouldn't. Because they will have much better housing. Much better - in other words, I'm talking about building a permanent place for them." Trump told reporters on Sunday, "I think that it's a big mistake to allow people - the Palestinians, or the people living in Gaza - to go back yet another time, and we don't want Hamas going back....We're going to bring stability to the Middle East."
