I have just concluded an in-depth four-hour discussion with the Security Cabinet.
We all expressed outrage over the shocking condition of our three hostages who were released this past Saturday.

We also welcomed President Trump's demand for the release of our hostages by Saturday noon and his revolutionary vision for Gaza's future.

In light of Hamas' announcement of its decision to violate the agreement and not release our hostages, I instructed the IDF last night to amass forces inside and around the Gaza Strip.

This operation is currently underway and will be completed as soon as possible.

The unanimous decision I passed in the Cabinet is as follows:

If Hamas does not return our hostages by Saturday noon, the ceasefire will end, and the IDF will resume intense combat until Hamas is decisively defeated."
