US President Donald Trump has set a new deadline for Hamas to respond to a US peace plan for Gaza, warning that failure to accept it would lead to “all hell” breaking out against the militant group.
In a post on his Truth Social platform on Friday, Trump stated that an agreement must be reached by 18:00 Washington time (22:00 GMT) on Sunday.
“If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas. THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.”
What is the peace deal all about?
The proposed plan calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of 20 living Israeli hostages within 72 hours, and the return of the remains of deceased hostages in exchange for hundreds of Gazans detained by Israel.
