Last chance, accept deal by Sunday: US to Hamas

US President Donald Trump on Friday issued a sweeping ultimatum to Hamas, vowing total military destruction unless the group agreed by Sunday evening to what he described as a "last chance" Middle East peace agreement endorsed by Israel, Arab nations and the US.

On September 29, Washington unveiled a new peace proposal that sought an immediate cessation of hostilities, full return of hostages and a pathway to Gaza's reconstruction under international oversight.

This proposal termed as — US President Donald Trump's Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict — is having a 21-point “New Gaza” blueprint. The plan is under scrutiny, but is yet to be accepted by the Hamas.

In a fiery Truth Social post, Trump accused Hamas of waging decades of violence in the region. He said over 25,000 Hamas fighters had already been killed and claimed the rest were “surrounded and militarily trapped”, awaiting his order to “GO”. At the same time, Trump declared that Hamas fighters would be spared if they accepted the peace pact — a deal he said involved “great, powerful, and very rich nations of the Middle East” and could deliver “peace after 3,000 years”. “If this last chance agreement is not reached...all hell, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas,” he warned.
