Trump's 'Final Warning' to Hamas: Accept Ceasefire, Release Hostages, or Face Consequences
  • Hamas has indicated it is in contact with mediators and has received ideas from the US to develop a comprehensive ceasefire agreement, which includes demands for a public declaration to end the war, full withdrawal from Gaza, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian administration.

  • Donald Trump issued a 'last warning' to Hamas, urging the group to accept a ceasefire deal, release hostages, and end the conflict, claiming that Israel has accepted his terms.

  • Trump's recent comments and actions reflect a sense of urgency, with him stating that everyone wants the war to end and the hostages to return, and noting that some believed to be alive may have recently died.

  • Trump has expressed confidence that a deal will be reached soon, asserting that all hostages, whether dead or alive, will be returned, and has previously issued similar ultimatums.

  • Israeli officials are seriously considering Trump's ceasefire proposal, although details have not been disclosed.

  • Recent US military assessments include discussions between CENTCOM and Israel on operational plans and regional cooperation to address threats, with visits from US officials to Israel.

  • President Trump signed an executive order allowing the U.S. to designate countries as sponsors of wrongful detention, imposing sanctions on nations holding American citizens.

  • U.S. officials are actively engaged in negotiations, with meetings scheduled in Washington to discuss hostage negotiations and efforts with Qatar and Egypt to revive ceasefire talks.

  • Hamas emphasizes the need for a public commitment from Israel to adhere to all negotiated conditions and is working with mediators to develop an agreement aligned with their demands.

  • Hamas released a video of two hostages, and the U.S. has proposed a comprehensive deal through Israeli activist Gershon Baskin, aiming to put public pressure on Hamas to respond.

  • This is not the first time Trump has issued a 'last warning,' having previously made a similar statement in March, underscoring his persistent approach to the conflict.

  • About 20 of the 48 hostages in Gaza are believed to still be alive, and the deal on the table includes the immediate release of all hostages and up to 3,000 Palestinian prisoners by Israel.
