displacement of palestinians. arab countries. and hamas could end this weekend after hamas said it would delay saturday's close allies they may be, planned hostage release. but these two men have very different visions for gaza's future. king abdullah and donald trump met for the first time since the us president announced his plan to take over gaza and move its population of more than two million palestinians to other palestinians to other countries in the region, countries in the region, including jordan.

it's going to be where it's going to be where we ultimately choose we ultimately choose as a group, and i believe we'll as a group, and i believe we'll have a parcel have a parcel of land in jordan. of land in jordan. i believe we'll have a parcel of land in egypt. we may have someplace else, we may have someplace else, but i think when we finish our but i think when we finish our talks, we'll have a place talks, we'll have a place where they're going to live where they're going to live very happily and very safely. very happily and very safely. as quickly as possible and then the un has warned that the un has warned that any forced displacement of civilians from occupied any forced displacement territory is strictly prohibited under international law, and tantamount to ethnic cleansing. to ethnic cleansing. mr trump insists his plan will bring stability to the middle east. sitting by his side, but walking a fine line between his view and that between his view and that of the president, king abdullah of the president, king abdullah said he was looking said he was looking to egypt for a way forward. i think one of the things to egypt for a way forward. that we can do right away is take 2,000 children that are either cancer children or in very ill state to jordan or in very ill state to jordan

as quickly as possible and then wait for, i think, the egyptians to present their plan on how we can work with the president to work on the gaza challenges. egypt has said it would work with the trump administration, the gains of peace. the ceasefire, meanwhile, between hamas and israel, is looking increasingly fragile. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has although it's not clear whether he means all hostages, as mr trump demanded. translation: this operation will be completed soon. - the decision is this, if hamas does not return our hostages by saturday, the ceasefire will end and the military will return to intense fighting until hamas is finally defeated. responding to the prime minister's ultimatum,

hamas issued a statement renewing its commitment to the ceasefire and accusing israel ofjeopardising it. peter bowes, bbc news. our correspondent yolande knell is injerusalem. i mean, i think this is now the time for regional mediators to really step in, try to clarify what is required by israel, try to put pressure on hamas too to get things back on the right track, certainly for the initial stage of this ceasefire deal. we are looking now, more than three weeks into this initial six week phase, like this is, you know, the most delicate that the ceasefire really has been. and it is just still quite a little puzzling exactly what was the result of that security cabinet meeting yesterday. the israeli prime minister, in his video statement, he came out saying there had been a unanimous decision reached, and that was that hamas had to return what he said was "our" hostages

by noon on saturday, otherwise the ceasefire would end. but it has been pointed out he didn't say "all our hostages", echoing what president trump's language was when he recommended this high stakes ultimatum to hamas. that would mean all the hostages, potentially all 76 still held by hamas, both alive and dead, in the gaza strip. he could have meant the hostages that were already scheduled to be released this saturday, three, by hamas, under the existing terms of the deal that hamas had said it was freezing because of these alleged violations of israel, of the ceasefire agreement, and israeli media saying although there have been key ministers coming out, briefings that were given to them by senior israeli

official, saying that the intention is, the demand is for all of the hostages to come back. many analysts are saying that mr netanyahu doesn't appear to have closed the door on some kind of, you know, way of keeping this deal going. earlier i spoke to mustapha kamel al—sayyid, from cairo university, about how likely he thought it was that the ceasefire will hold until saturday. i think this is a delicate moment for prime minister netanyahu, and for the us president, donald trump. it is a delicate moment, because he, prime minister netanyahu, is under strong pressure in israel from the families of the hostages to continue the deal. also president trump is facing a very awkward situation, because he was proud

of the fact that he brought the ceasefire, even before he came to the white house, so ending the ceasefire now means more pressure on the israeli prime minister and disappointment maybe

breakings news from the russia spokesperson for putin spokesperson for vladimir putin who he has rejected who says he has rejected swapping occupied territory with and any peace with kyiv and any peace deal. that comes president that mm“ after president ~ the idea in a zelensky floated the idea in a news paper article. article. the spokesman said this m- impossible. russia has never and will never discuss the at 0g. ,. . ”w”... 7 7 o7f7e7xchan7gi7n7g777 7 7 otetctiangtngits” topic of exchanging its territory. so ruling out mr zelensky�*s idea of a swap that have involved could have involved ukrainian held pars of kursk region. held pars of the kursk region. we will have more later.
