WASHINGTON – Trump said Friday that Hamas must agree to a proposed peace deal for Gaza by 6 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday and threatened the group will suffer more attacks if it doesn’t.

Trump said on social media on Friday: “Every Country has signed on! If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas.” The Republican president says, “THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.”
The president unveiled the plan alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week.
Trump’s proposal would place Gaza under control of a temporary governing committee led by Trump himself. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair would be involved as well.
Civilians would not be required to evacuate the territory, something that Trump had floated before. Hamas would be required to disarm and release any remaining hostages. Surviving fighters would be allowed to leave.
Hamas said Tuesday that it would study the proposal.
Very nice. However, I do have an issue with the term “retribution”. It’s a dangerous word because the world’s response inevitably will be: “proportionality”. I would’ve preferred if Trump had written “To eliminate current and future threat”, a phrase for which “proportionality” can hardly apply.
.
Also: Trump gave Hamas quite a few ultimatums before and not much came of them. Will this threat be any different?
What happened to the “3 to 4 days” deadline set last Monday? Trump’s already backed down.
I don’t think that those savages will accept the deal, as they want to go down fighting, and be recognized as martyrs.
Deadline for them to hear when the next deadline is
bibi bring the hostages home now !
THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS. THEY, HAMAS, ARE LIARS AND DO NOT KEEP PROMISES. RABBI
