Trump's Gaza Resettlement Plan and Ultimatum to Hamas Escalate Regional Tensions

The U.S. president's controversial proposals and threats strain relations with allies and jeopardize a fragile Gaza ceasefire.

Donald Trump proposed relocating Gaza's population to Jordan and Egypt, a plan widely rejected by both nations due to security and political concerns.
Hamas halted the release of Israeli hostages, accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement by delaying aid and restricting displaced Palestinians' return.
Trump issued an ultimatum to Hamas, demanding the release of all hostages by Saturday or facing severe, unspecified consequences.
Jordan and Egypt, key U.S. allies, face internal and external pressures as they resist Trump's resettlement plan, citing existential threats to their stability.
The fragile Gaza ceasefire, supported by 70% of Israelis, risks collapse as tensions rise between Israel, Hamas, and international stakeholders.
