President Donald Trump has issued a firm ultimatum for the Palestinian militant group Hamas to accept his 20-point peace proposal for Gaza by Sunday evening, warning of unprecedented retaliation if the group fails to comply. In a statement posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump declared that the deadline is non-negotiable and signaled that failure to agree would unleash “all hell, like no one has ever seen before” on Hamas.
The peace plan, presented earlier this week at the White House alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calls for an immediate ceasefire, the exchange of all hostages held by Hamas for Palestinian detainees in Israel, the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the disarmament of Hamas. The proposal also envisages the establishment of an international trusteeship to temporarily govern Gaza, aiming to stabilize the region and pave the way for long-term peace.
Trump emphasized that every country involved has endorsed the plan and described it as Hamas’s “last chance” to negotiate a lasting peace. He reiterated the urgency of halting violence and securing the safe release of hostages, including those who have tragically died.
Following the announcement, Hamas expressed willingness to release all Israeli hostages and engage in negotiations through mediators but insisted that other aspects of the plan be addressed within a broader Palestinian framework involving various stakeholders.
While Trump urged Hamas to agree promptly, he also called on Israel to halt bombing campaigns to facilitate hostage rescue efforts safely, though the specifics of safe zones remain unclear. The U.S. administration’s hardline stance reflects its commitment to supporting Israel’s right to self-defense while seeking to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
This Sunday deadline marks a critical juncture in Middle East peace efforts amid ongoing hostilities, with global leaders watching closely for the militant group’s response.
