Trump Issues Sunday Ultimatum to Hamas on Gaza Peace Deal
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!President Donald Trump has issued a powerful ultimatum to Hamas, demanding the group accept his 20-point peace plan for Gaza by Sunday at 6 p.m. Washington, DC time. He warned that a refusal would lead to catastrophic consequences, declaring, “all hell, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas.”
Trump stated that Hamas has been given one “last chance” to agree to the deal, release all Israeli hostages (including the deceased’s bodies), and end the two-year-long conflict.
Key Points of the 20-Point Peace Plan:
The comprehensive proposal aims to not only halt the fighting but also establish a framework for post-war governance:
- Immediate Ceasefire & Hostage Release: The fighting would stop immediately if both Israel and Hamas agree. Hamas would be required to free all captives within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting the terms. In exchange, Israel would release Palestinian prisoners, including women and children.
- End of Hamas Rule: The plan requires Hamas to completely disarm and agree to have no role in Gaza’s future governance. Remaining Hamas fighters would be spared if they accept the deal.
- Transitional Governance: A temporary technocratic administration would be set up to manage Gaza. This body would be overseen by an international “Board of Peace,” which would be chaired by Trump himself and include figures like former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
- Security and Development: The plan calls for a phased Israeli withdrawal, deployment of an International Stabilisation Force, and a significant economic plan to transform Gaza into a “terror-free zone” with long-term development prospects. The framework also guarantees that no resident of Gaza will be forced to leave.
Trump stressed that this deal has the backing of Israel and “every country” involved, assuring a “peace one way or the other” for the Middle East. The warning came as Hamas reportedly was still reviewing the proposal, which includes elements—like disarming—that the militant group has historically rejected.
