Trump Says Hamas Wants To ‘Play Tough Guy’, Netanyahu Threatens Gaza Fighting If Hostages Not Freed

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that “intense fighting” will resume in Gaza if Hamas does not release hostages. Hamas said the hostage release scheduled for Feb.15 was postponed due to Israel failing to meet its commitments under a ceasefire agreement, including on aid, and the deaths of three Gazans at the weekend. Netanyahu said he had ordered the army to “gather forces inside and around the Gaza Strip” as he warned the “ceasefire will end, and the army will return to intense fighting until Hamas is finally defeated.”Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said Hamas was “playing the tough guy” as he doubted that the Palestinian militant group would abide by the ultimatum. 00:00 – INTRO05:04 – JORDAN’S KING MEETS TRUMP 06:31 – HOUTHIS THREATEN TO RESUME ATTACKS 07:30 -SYRIA’S SHARAA CALLS TRUMP GAZA PLAN ‘SERIOUS CRIME’ 08:34 -ISRAEL ANNOUNCES ELDERLY HOSTAGE KILLED IN GAZAn18oc_world n18oc_crux
