Trump's Ultimatum to Hamas: A Last Chance for Peace

U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas a tight deadline, urging the militant group to agree on a detailed plan for Gaza's future by Sunday at 6 p.m., Washington, D.C. time. The plan outlines a series of steps including a ceasefire and disarmament that seeks to bring stability to the region.

The 20-point proposal is framed as a 'last chance' for Hamas and stipulates crucial requirements like the surrendering of weapons and the release of all hostages. In return, Palestinian prisoners held by Israel would be released, and Israeli forces would gradually withdraw from Gaza.

Amidst this tension, Hamas is carefully reviewing the proposal, while President Trump has signaled that failure to reach an agreement could lead to unprecedented retaliatory actions against the group, intensifying pressure for a resolution.
