All hell will break loose,& the White House spokesperson said.Trump had previously publicly issued a warning using similar words, saying Hamas should release all hostages in Gaza or &let hell break out.The latest bloodshed in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict was triggered on Oct.
7, 2023, when Palestinian Hamas militants attacked Israel, killing 1,200 and taking about 250 hostages.Israel's subsequent military assault on Gaza has killed over 48,000 Palestinians, according to the local health ministry, while also triggering accusations of genocide and war crimes that Israel denies. The assault has internally displaced nearly Gaza's entire 2.3 million population and caused a hunger crisis.Trump has also been condemned over his plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza and for the United States to take over the enclave. Rights groups, the U.N., Palestinians and Arab states have said Trump's proposal, which he has put across as a re-development plan, would amount to ethnic cleansing.Washington separately launched a new wave of airstrikes on Saturday in Yemen in which it said dozens of members of the Houthi movement were left dead. The Houthis said at least 53 people were killed.
Reuters could not independently verify those casualty numbers.
