Trump has ordered Israel to stop bombing the Gaza Strip after Hamas said it had accepted some elements of his plan to end the nearly two-year war and return all the remaining hostages taken in the October 7, 2023, attack.

Hamas stated it was ready to free the hostages and transfer authority in Gaza to other Palestinian representatives but emphasised that several components of the US plan would still require internal Palestinian consultations. 

The development came after Trump warned Hamas to accept the terms by Sunday night or face severe consequences. “If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas,” he wrote on social media. “THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.”

Trump’s plan calls for an immediate halt to the fighting and the release of the remaining 48 hostages, around 20 of whom are believed to still be alive, within three days. In exchange, Israel would pause its offensive, withdraw from much of Gaza, free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, and allow large-scale humanitarian aid and reconstruction to begin.
