Donald Trump has issued a new ultimatum to Hamas, describing the organization as “ruthless” and recalling the massacre of October 7.

At the same time, he set a final deadline — Sunday at 6:00 p.m. Washington time — for a peace proposal to be accepted, which, he said, has been signed by powerful countries in the region and by Israel. According to the American president, if no agreement is reached, “hell will break loose” against Hamas.

Specifically, in a post, Trump described Hamas as a “ruthless and violent threat” in the Middle East. He said the peak of this was the “October 7 massacre,” adding that, in retaliation, more than 25,000 fighters of the organization have been killed, and that the rest are “surrounded and militarily trapped,” awaiting his order to be eliminated.

At the same time, he addressed the civilians of the Gaza Strip, calling on “all innocent Palestinians” to immediately leave areas that, in his assessment, face a very high risk to life, and move to safer zones. He emphasized that “everyone will be well taken care of by those preparing to help.”

He went on to stress that “large, powerful, and very wealthy nations of the Middle East,” together with the United States and with Israel’s signature, have agreed on a peace plan which, he said, “secures the lives of the remaining Hamas fighters” and will bring “peace to the region — one way or another.”

Trump also demanded the immediate release of all hostages, calling for their handover “now,” including the bodies of the deceased. He set a deadline for reaching an agreement with Hamas “by Sunday evening at 6 p.m., Washington time.” If no deal is reached, he warned that “a hell unlike anything ever seen before will break loose against Hamas.”

Finally, he made it clear that the bloodshed must stop, reiterating his expectation that the agreement will bring peace “one way or another.”
