Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stern warning, threatening to withdraw from the ceasefire in Gaza unless Hamas releases additional hostages by the weekend. Troops have been directed to prepare for potential renewed conflict.

Amid escalating tensions, US President Donald Trump criticized the ceasefire's stability. After meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah II, Trump expressed skepticism over Hamas meeting the deadline for hostage releases. He suggested the ceasefire should be canceled if all hostages aren't freed.

Jordan faces increased pressure as Trump hinted at plans for Middle Eastern restructuring, including potential US control over Gaza. The fragile ceasefire faces an uncertain future as both sides prepare for possible changes.
