United States President Donald Trump has issued a “last warning” to Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist movement that governs the Gaza Strip, to accept his peace deals.

In a statement via his Truth social media platform on Sunday, Trump said Israel has accepted his terms, adding that the responsibility now lies with Hamas.

Trump said “everyone wants the hostages home” and “everyone wants this war to end”, warning Hamas of “consequences” if it fails to accept the deal.

“The Israelis have accepted my terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well. This is my last warning, there will not be another one,” he wrote.

Trump has increasingly positioned himself as a broker in the conflict, claiming his intervention is necessary to bring both sides to the table.

His comments come amid stalled negotiations mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States, following weeks of heavy Israeli bombardment of Gaza in response to Hamas’ October 7 attack.

In July, Trump announced that Israel had agreed to a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas.

“The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring peace, will deliver this final proposal,” Trump said.

“I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE.”

Meanwhile, the first phase of the ceasefire deal reached in January suffered a setback in March after the Jewish nation launched a surprise attack in Gaza, killing over 300.
