US President Donald Trump on Friday issued a stark ultimatum to Hamas. He set a firm deadline. The group must accept his 20-point Gaza peace plan “by Sunday evening at six (6) p.m., Washington, D.C. time.” He warned that failure would bring severe military action.
Deadline and Clear Threat
Trump posted the warning on his Truth Social account. He described Hamas as “a ruthless and violent threat.” He claimed more than 25,000 Hamas fighters have been killed. He added that many others are surrounded and militarily trapped. He said commanders are ready and waiting for his order. “If this last-chance agreement is not reached, all hell, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas,” he wrote. He also said, “We know where and who you are, and you will be hunted down and killed.”
Humanitarian Warning to Civilians
Alongside the military threat, Trump urged civilians in Gaza to move to safer areas. He told innocent Palestinians to leave high-risk zones immediately. He promised they would be cared for by helpers on the ground. Trump framed the plan as a final offer that could spare lives. He said the deal “also spares the lives of all remaining Hamas fighters” if they accept. A core condition in the plan is the unconditional release of all hostages. Trump demanded: “Release the hostages — all of them, including the bodies of those who are dead.”
The 20-point plan includes ceasefire terms, prisoner swaps, and governance steps, according to previous briefings. Trump said major regional powers and the United States back the proposal, with Israel signing on. He described the deal as a historic chance for peace after centuries of conflict.
The ultimatum drew immediate attention worldwide. Observers say the short deadline raises tensions on the ground. Military commanders and diplomatic channels will be watched closely in the coming hours. The fate of the hostages remains central to the talks. The coming deadline will test whether the plan can secure a pause in fighting or trigger further escalation.
