The ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel is at risk of collapse, after former US President Donald Trump threatened the Palestinian movement with **“hell”** if all hostages held in Gaza are not released by next Saturday.

Trump's Threats and Escalation of the Situation

Trump's threat came during his meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah II at the White House on Tuesday evening, where he confirmed that he might cut aid to Jordan and Egypt if they do not accept the Palestinians he intends to deport from Gaza, a matter that was categorically rejected by both countries.

In response to a journalist's question about the Saturday deadline, Trump confirmed that the deadline is still in place, which increased tensions regarding the future of the truce between Israel and Hamas.

Hamas and UN's Response to Trump's Threats

For its part, Hamas rejected Trump's threats, asserting that they are worthless and complicate matters further. Hamas leader Sami Abu Zuhri stated:

“Trump should remember that there is an agreement that must be respected by both sides, and this is the only way to secure the return of the prisoners.”

At the same time, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged Hamas to proceed with the release of the Israeli hostages, warning that the resumption of hostilities in Gaza would lead to a major tragedy.

King Abdullah's Visit to Washington and Jordan's Rejection of Palestinian Displacement

The escalation of tension coincided with King Abdullah II's visit to Washington on Sunday, where he held a series of meetings with American officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and the US President's Special Envoy to the Middle East Stephen Wittekov.

During these meetings, King Abdullah reaffirmed Jordan's firm rejection of the displacement of Palestinians, and the kingdom's commitment to the two-state solution as the only feasible solution to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Ceasefire Agreement: Is It Collapsing Soon?

After more than 15 months of fighting, a truce was reached between Israel and Hamas, mediated by Qatar, the United States, and Egypt, which came into effect on January 19. The agreement stipulated:

1. Cessation of hostilities between the two parties.

2. The release of hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons.

3. The entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

However, in light of recent developments, Hamas accused Israel of not adhering to the terms of the truce, and announced on Monday that it had postponed any prisoner exchange operations “until further notice,” but confirmed that the door remains open for the release of a new batch of hostages next Saturday, provided that Israel fulfills its obligations under the agreement.

Are We Witnessing the Collapse of the Truce?

As the deadline set by Trump approaches and tensions continue to escalate between the parties involved, it seems that the ceasefire agreement is facing a real test. If the hostages are not released by Saturday, the situation may lead to a new military escalation, complicating the humanitarian and political crisis in the region even further.

The coming days will be crucial, as either diplomatic efforts will succeed in maintaining the truce, or the conflict will return to the forefront again.
