Trump gives Hamas until Sunday at six o'clock Washington time and warns of a potential 'hell'

U.S. President Donald Trump, in a post on his account on the 'Truth Social' platform, stated that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip should 'leave the area that may become a place of death in the future' to 'safer areas' within the strip, demanding an agreement with Hamas 'by six o'clock Sunday' Washington time, and the release of all hostages — otherwise 'the gates of unprecedented hell will open on Hamas', according to him.

In his post, Trump directed sharp accusations against the movement, reminding of what he described as the 'massacre of October 7' in Israel, and said that a U.S. and Israeli response resulted, according to his statements, in the death of more than 25,000 'fighters' of Hamas, and that the remaining ones are 'surrounded and militarily trapped', adding: 'We know your locations and identities, and you will be pursued and killed'.

The president called for the immediate release of all prisoners — 'all of them, including the bodies of the dead' — and considered that major regional countries and Washington reached a 'deal' to end the conflict, expressing hope that Hamas would accept it, and repeated his threat that failure to do so would lead to 'a phase of violence that no one has seen before'.

Trump also urged civilians to move to safe areas within Gaza, saying: 'I ask all innocent Palestinians to leave this area that may witness significant death in the future to safer areas in Gaza', emphasizing that 'everyone will receive good care from those waiting to help'.
