Shocking: Israel unanimously backs Trump’s hostage threat, but inside reports paint a different picture

Despite the fierce rhetoric about the deadline for Hamas to release all hostages by Saturday, Israeli security officials have made it clear that if Hamas releases just three hostages, as previously agreed, the deal will continue as planned. This inconsistency raises questions about whether Israel is truly committed to Trump’s ultimatum or if political maneuvering is at play behind the scenes.

Ariel Kahana reported that two ministers informed him that the Israeli cabinet had decided to stand by Trump’s threat. However, the plan has not officially been adopted by Israel, and officials are still waiting to see if Hamas will follow through on the promise to release three hostages on Saturday. In essence, Israel has received an "American check," but as one source put it, "for now, it is not being cashed." This means that while the rhetoric might suggest drastic consequences if Hamas fails to meet the deadline, the reality is far more nuanced and less confrontational.

Despite the heated statements from Trump and the Israeli cabinet, the hostages’ release deal will continue as planned if Hamas meets its obligation to free three hostages by the end of the week. This glaring contradiction between the threats and the actual conditions of the agreement suggests a dissonance between the public statements and the behind-the-scenes reality. The narrative of imminent action against Hamas might be meant to pressure the terror group, but in reality, it hinges on the completion of a specific, limited portion of the deal.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while publicly backing Trump’s ultimatum, has instructed Israeli forces to prepare for any scenario, reinforcing troops in Gaza and surrounding areas. This reflects Israel’s readiness for further action but also highlights the delicate balance between diplomatic pressures and practical outcomes. If Hamas does release the agreed-upon three hostages, the deal will proceed, and the tensions may subside — leaving many to question whether Israel and Trump are truly on the same page, or if the rhetoric is simply part of a larger strategy of negotiation and posturing.

This situation reveals a potential betrayal, with some critics arguing that Israel is quietly retreating from its promises while still publicly standing by Trump’s threat. Yet, the silence on this behind-the-scenes maneuvering raises concerns among those who feel that the true story is being hidden.
