Trump Gives Hamas 4 Days to Accept Gaza Peace Plan
Hamas faces do-or-die deadline on Trump's bold peace blueprint.
President Donald Trump ramped up the pressure on Hamas Tuesday, slapping a razor-sharp 3-4 day deadline on his sweeping 20-point Gaza peace blueprint, vowing a "very sad end" if the militants don't fold. Fresh off unveiling the plan Monday, Trump—chatting with reporters outside the White House—boasted that Israel, Arab states, and Muslim nations are all aboard, leaving Hamas as the lone holdout. "We're just waiting for Hamas, and if it's not, it's going to be a very sad end," he warned, before clarifying to U.S. military brass: "Hamas has 3-4 days to respond. If not—Israel will do what it needs to do."
Trump's bravado didn't stop there. Addressing commanders, he crowed about potentially wrapping the "biggest war" in 3,000 years of strife: "We've got it. Hamas has to agree, and if they don't, it's going to be very tough on them." The plan's core? An instant halt to fighting, full hostage releases, and Israeli pullback from Gaza. In exchange, Hamas disarms completely, bows out of any governance role, and watches as Israel frees hundreds of Palestinian detainees while aid floods in to combat the famine gripping the strip.
Hamas fired back with a measured dodge, vowing internal debates and chats with Palestinian allies before any official word. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu jumped on board, hailing the proposal—though he slammed the door on Palestinian statehood dreams, insisting Israel won't budge. Global cheers poured in too: France, Canada, India, Russia, and more endorsed the roadmap, eyeing an end to the bloodbath that's claimed over 66,000 Palestinian lives since October 2023, mostly women and kids under relentless Israeli strikes.
