Washington, February 11: President Donald Trump says a precarious ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas should be cancelled if Hamas doesn't release all the remaining hostages it is holding in Gaza by midday on Saturday.

But he warned that “all hell is going to break out” if the remaining hostages aren't released, and added that he feared many were dead. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio Reiterates Donald Trump’s Stance on Gaza Ceasefire, Calls for Immediate Release of All Israeli Hostages Taken by Hamas.
