Trump Issues Final Ultimatum to Hamas Amid Gaza Ceasefire Negotiations
President Donald Trump has delivered a final warning to Hamas, urging the release of all hostages and acceptance of a ceasefire proposal, as Israel signals readiness to agree to the terms.
U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a final ultimatum to Hamas, demanding the immediate release of all hostages and acceptance of a ceasefire agreement. In a social media post, Trump stated, "This is my last warning. There will not be another one."
The proposed deal involves Hamas releasing 48 hostages on the first day of a truce, with Israel reciprocating by releasing thousands of Palestinian prisoners. Subsequent negotiations would aim to end the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar announced that Israel has accepted Trump's ceasefire proposal, expressing readiness for a comprehensive peace agreement to end the war.
In response, Hamas acknowledged receiving ideas from U.S. mediators aimed at reaching a ceasefire and expressed openness to developing them. However, the group emphasized the need for a clear end to the war and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza in exchange for the release of hostages.
The situation remains tense as all parties await further developments in the ceasefire negotiations.
