PRESIDENT Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum to Hamas as he warns all hell is going to break out if they refuse to hand over the final hostages.

The Republican said the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel should be cancelled if the remaining hostages are not all released by 12pm on Saturday.

Trump added he fears that many of the remaining captives are dead before saying any move is ultimately up to Israel.

His comments come just hours after terror group Hamas announced they are delaying any further hostage releases.

They accused Israel of violating the fragile ceasefire pact which only started three weeks ago.

Hamas’ top brass claim Israel has been dragging its feet on allowing aid into Gaza – a charge Israel has rejected as untrue.

The major confrontation comes just half way through the agreed six-week deal which should see 33 hostages ruthlessly snatched on October 7, finally returned home to their loved ones.

So far, 16 captives have been safely handed over since January 19 in five separate groups.

As well as five Thai hostages who were returned in an unscheduled release.

In exchange, Israel has released hundreds of prisoners and detainees, ranging from prisoners serving life sentences for deadly attacks to Palestinians detained during the war and held without charge.

Over a dozen hostages are still yet to be freed with fears increasing every day about the condition of those still being held.

Serious concerns are starting to grow over the youngest hostage, baby Kfir Bibas.

Kfir was only nine months old when he was barbarically forced to spend the majority of his life as a Hamas prisoner.

He was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz during Hamas’ October 7 bloodbath alongside his parents and older brother, Ariel, five.

Trump made his Gaza comments to reporters as he signed a huge number of executive orders in The White House.

One of these is aimed at encouraging the US government and consumers to purchase plastic straws opposed to paper ones. 

Trump has been vocal on his thoughts on Gaza and the current war in the Middle East since returning to office in January.

He was left furious by the condition of the latest releases saying they “looked like Holocaust survivors”.

The US president said he was losing his patience with the hostage deal after seeing footage of Eli Sharabi, Or Levy and Ohad Ben Ami, who appeared gaunt upon their release.

Last week, the President surprised the world when he said the US should take over the decimated Gaza Strip and create his vision of a “Riviera of the Middle East”.

Trump’s idea included relocating two million Palestinians to neighbouring countries like Jordan and Egypt while the US reconstructs the area he called a “demolition site”.

He said he would turn Gaza into the “most spectacular development on Earth” but Palestinians have argued they will reconstruct the area themselves.
