Hamas has responded to President Donald Trump's threat regarding the release of Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip. The group emphasized the importance of all parties honoring the ceasefire deal reached last month for the hostages' return. Hamas spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri stated that adherence to the agreement is crucial for the prisoners' release and criticized the use of threatening language, which could complicate the situation.

Furthermore, Hamas has raised concerns about Israel's alleged violations of the ceasefire agreement, leading to a potential delay in releasing three Israeli hostages scheduled for Saturday. President Trump warned that the ceasefire could be canceled if Hamas fails to release all remaining hostages by the specified deadline, leaving the decision to Israel.
