Trump Gives Hamas 'Three Or Four Days' To Agree To Gaza Plan Or 'Pay In Hell'
The President of the United States intends to give the terrorist organization several days to make a decision before providing full military support to Israel to finish the job.
President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Hamas, giving the group "three or four days" to agree to his comprehensive 21-point peace plan for Gaza, or face severe consequences. "They will pay in hell if they don’t sign," Trump declared on Tuesday, following the plan's unveiling alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday.
The proposal, which has been endorsed by Arab leaders, now hinges on Hamas's response, with Qatari mediators having presented it to the group on Monday evening.
Trump's plan calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all remaining hostages, and a partial Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. In exchange, Hamas would be required to disarm fully and accept a transitional governance structure led by an international "Board of Peace," chaired by Trump himself, with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair reportedly among potential members. "We’ll do it right … We’ll have a board," Trump stated, emphasizing his willingness to take on additional responsibilities for what he deems a critical mission.
However, the plan's terms have already drawn sharp criticism from Hamas and Palestinian officials. A source close to Hamas described the proposal as "completely biased to Israel" and imposing "impossible conditions" aimed at eliminating the group.
The demand for full disarmament and the partial nature of the Israeli withdrawal are particularly contentious, as Hamas has historically insisted on a complete IDF exit as a prerequisite for any truce.
Trump himself is optimistic, stating, "I hope they sign for their own good and create something really great." Yet, the feasibility of Hamas laying down its arms to allow figures like Tony Blair to oversee Gaza's future remains highly questionable, given the deep-seated mistrust and conflicting interests.
