President Donald Trump recently expressed optimism after Hamas responded to his peace proposal designed to resolve the ongoing conflict in Gaza. In a detailed post on Truth Social, he emphasized that Hamas has until Sunday night to accept his “LAST CHANCE” deal, warning that failure to do so would lead to severe consequences for the group.
The proposal, which was made public earlier this week alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, outlines a path for Hamas to disarm and release hostages in exchange for an end to hostilities and the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Following Trump’s warning, Hamas issued a statement acknowledging the proposal but sought further assurances regarding the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state. They emphasized their commitment to ending the violence and their readiness to negotiate further.
In their statement, Hamas highlighted the efforts of various international actors, including Trump’s administration, to achieve peace. They expressed willingness to release all Israeli hostages as part of a potential deal and indicated a desire to hand over governance to a Palestinian body supported by both Arab and Islamic allies.
President Trump welcomed Hamas’s response, suggesting it indicates a readiness for lasting peace. He advised Israel to halt its bombing campaign in Gaza to facilitate the safe return of the hostages, mentioning that discussions are ongoing about the details.
This development reflects a significant moment in the quest for peace in the region, with many watching to see if a resolution can be reached that balances the rights and security of both Israelis and Palestinians.
