U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday he was issuing a “last warning” to Hamas, urging the Palestinian group to accept a deal to release hostages in Gaza.
“The Israelis have accepted my terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well. I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning,” Trump said on social media.
Israel said Sunday it is “seriously considering” a comprehensive ceasefire and hostage swap deal proposed by Trump. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed the discussions in a statement, emphasizing the proposal is under careful review.
According to Israel’s public broadcaster KAN and Channel 12, Trump’s plan includes “fundamental changes compared to previous proposals,” though details have not been publicly released.
Israel has killed nearly 64,400 Palestinians in a brutal offensive in Gaza since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
