"U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday set a countdown for Hamas to accept Washington's 20point peace plan for Gaza, which was made public last Monday and already has Israel's approval. In a message on Truth Social, his social network, the Republican gave the Palestinian fundamentalist group an ultimatum that expires at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, Washington time, to respond. He threatened them with all hell if they do not accept the proposal."
"Among them is the obligation to disarm, something unthinkable for the Palestinian organization that governs the Gaza Strip. So far, Hamas has limited itself to saying from Qatar that it is examining the proposal, which offers it few guarantees and includes only one deadline: 72 hours for the prisoner exchange. The organization has demanded that the plan include concrete timetables for an Israeli withdrawal and hopes to secure other changes, such as the possibility of keeping part of its arsenals."
Trump set a strict deadline for Hamas to accept a U.S. 20point Gaza peace plan, threatening severe consequences if Hamas refuses. The plan, published with Israeli approval, demands Hamas disarm and proposes an immediate ceasefire, a 72-hour hostage-for-prisoner exchange deadline, a gradual Israeli withdrawal, opening of humanitarian aid, and a provisional Palestinian government under international supervision. Hamas has said from Qatar that it is examining the proposal while demanding concrete timetables for Israeli withdrawal and the option to retain some weapons. The White House released the three-page plan minutes before a joint appearance by Trump and Netanyahu, and Hamas said it lacked prior access.
