Donald Trump has issued what he claims to be his “last warning” to Hamas, urging them to accept a proposal to release hostages from Gaza. According to a post on his Trump Social platform, the Israelis have already accepted his terms, but Hamas must do the same. He stated that he has warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting, emphasizing that there will be no other warning.
Hamas acknowledged receiving ideas from the US side through mediators to secure a ceasefire deal in Gaza. While discussing ways to develop these ideas with the mediators, they did not provide further details. Hamas reiterated their willingness to negotiate for the release of all hostages in exchange for a conclusive end to the war and a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the enclave.
Trump expressed his belief in a possible deal regarding Gaza. While traveling back to Washington from New York, he stated that all hostages would be returned, whether dead or alive. However, he did not offer any specific details.
On Saturday, Israel’s N12 News reported that Trump had presented a new ceasefire proposal to Hamas. The proposed deal stated that Hamas would release all remaining 48 hostages on the first day of the truce in exchange for thousands of Palestinian prisoners jailed in Israel. This proposal would also involve negotiations for a complete end to the war during the ceasefire. According to an Israeli official, Israel is “seriously considering” Trump’s proposal, but they did not provide any additional information.
