Washington, D.C.: U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Hamas, urging the group to swiftly accept his 21-point peace plan, cautioning that failure to do so could result in severe consequences. Speaking at a media briefing outside the White House, Trump emphasized that a lack of agreement from Hamas would lead to a tragic outcome.
🇺🇸🇮🇱President Trump: "If Hamas rejects the deal, which is always possible, as you know, Bibi, you'd have our FULL BACKING to do what you would have to do."

Trump noted that all partner nations, including Israel, have already accepted the U.S.-proposed plan, and Muslim leadership broadly supports it. “Now it is Hamas’ turn,” he said, giving the group a three- to four-day window to comply. He added that if Hamas fails to agree, strong action would follow, with Israel acting independently if necessary.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has welcomed the plan, stressing that it aims not only to end hostilities in Gaza but also to establish broader peace in West Asia. As part of the agreement, Israel would begin a phased withdrawal of its forces from Gaza, while Hamas would be required to release prisoners within 72 hours, surrender its weapons, and ensure the demilitarization of the region.
