Title: Trump Sets Deadline for Hamas to Accept Gaza Peace Plan

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a warning to Hamas, stating that the militant group must accept his proposed peace plan for Gaza by 6 p.m. Sunday, Washington time, or face severe consequences. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump emphasized that failure to reach an agreement would result in unprecedented retaliation against Hamas. "If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas," he wrote.

Initially, Trump had given Hamas a window of three to four days to respond to his 20-point peace plan, which he announced earlier this week. He urged "innocent Palestinians" to evacuate to safer areas in anticipation of potential military action against Hamas. Trump claimed that most of Hamas's fighters are "surrounded and MILITARILY TRAPPED," waiting for his command to launch an offensive. He warned, "As for the rest, we know where and who you are, and you will be hunted down, and killed."

The peace plan, which Trump presented alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, includes several key provisions. These involve an immediate ceasefire, a swap of hostages held by Hamas for Palestinians detained by Israel, a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the establishment of a transitional government led by an international body. A significant demand of the plan is that Hamas disarm, a condition the group has previously rejected.

Hamas has indicated that it is reviewing the proposal, which comes amid ongoing military operations in Gaza. The Israeli military is conducting air and ground offensives in Gaza City, leading to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of residents. According to health ministry figures from the Hamas-run territory, the conflict has resulted in at least 66,148 Palestinian deaths, with a significant portion being women and children. The United Nations has stated that there is no safe place in Gaza, and areas designated by Israel as safe zones have been described as "places of death."

Trump's peace plan has garnered international attention, and he has claimed that every country has signed on to support it. He has previously stated that Israel would have the full backing of the U.S. to take necessary actions against Hamas if the peace deal is not accepted. The proposal aims to place Gaza under the control of a temporary governing committee, which would include Trump and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. While civilians would not be required to evacuate, Hamas would need to disarm and release any remaining hostages, with surviving fighters allowed to leave the territory.
