Reuters reported that Hamas leader Sami Abu Zuhri showed the group must follow the existing peace deal terms to free its prisoners from Israel. In the view of Abu Zuhri his organization ignores Trump’s aggressive speech because it causes more issues without providing solutions. On Monday Trump delivered this warning while detailing that international war would start if Hamas failed to release Israeli captives before Saturday.
The situation has become harder because Hamas stopped its slow hostage release after Israel kept attacking Gaza areas during the truce terms. A temporary peace between warring sides started in mid-January through cooperation between Qatar Egypt, and the United States. The current peace deal remains unstable today because of recent rising tensions and debatable new ideas.
Arab world leaders expressed strong outrage when Trump suggested moving 2 million people from Gaza to make the region like the Riviera of the Middle East. Deadly dislocation plan has damaged the upcoming talks between Trump and Jordan’s King Abdullah even though he faces Geneva Convention charges for a war crime* Jordanians expect the talk to be uncomfortable given Trump’s warning that he will reduce support their country if Jordan does not take part in Palestinian relocation projects. The present crisis started when Hamas forces into Israel on October 2023 to begin a conflict with Israel.
