The cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas should be canceled if Hamas does not release all remaining hostages from Gaza by Feb. 15, President Donald Trump said.

Talking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said it is up to Israel whether to keep the deal, which was reached last month shortly before Trump took office.
