Trump Plans To Cancel Gaza Ceasefire If Hostages Not Released

President Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum regarding the ongoing hostilities between Hamas and Israel, demanding the release of all Israeli hostages by February 15 or risk erasing the ceasefire agreement, which he claims could lead to escalated violence. Amid this backdrop, Trump has proposed a controversial vision for Gaza's future, suggesting the U.S. should 'buy and own' the territory while relocating its Palestinian population, a plan that has been met with harsh criticism from both regional leaders and Palestinian representatives. Critics argue that Trump's approach, likening Gaza to a real estate project, reflects a misunderstanding of the complex geopolitical realities, with accusations of promoting ethnic cleansing and infringing on Palestinian sovereignty. His proposals for U.S. control over Gaza and pressure on neighboring countries to accept displaced Palestinians have alarmed key allies like Jordan and Egypt, who have firmly rejected any such suggestions. In response, Hamas has condemned Trump's plan, asserting that Gaza is not property to be bought or sold, and vowed to resist any forced displacement. The situation continues to escalate as Trump's rhetoric raises tensions and complicates the prospects for a peaceful resolution in the region.
