Egypt and Qatar are intensifying efforts to save the Gaza ceasefire deal after pressure from the United States and Israel as Hamas postponed the release of hostages, state-affiliated Egypt’s al Qahera news TV reports, citing an Egyptian source.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned Palestinians that “hell will break loose” if Israeli hostages were not released on Saturday, as scheduled under the ceasefire. Israel has said it will resume military operations.
Hamas has said it would hold off on the release of hostages, accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire’s terms.
