Trump's 48-hour deadline for Hamas to return hostages' remains prompts action, with Israel and the US pushing for serious steps if demands aren't met. Both Israel and Hamas took US President Donald Trump's '48-hours' statement on Saturday seriously,

U.S. President Donald Trump said allies in the Middle East are enthusiastic about the idea of fighting Hamas in Gaza if it does not uphold the ceasefire agreement with Israel that he brokered under his 20-point peace plan.

President Donald Trump gave Hamas a 48-hour ultimatum to return bodies of 13 deceased hostages or face consequences from countries involved in the Gaza peace deal.

Hamas committed to returning all living and deceased captives being held in the strip as part of the ceasefire deal reached earlier this month.
