""An Agreement must be reached with Hamas by Sunday Evening at SIX (6) P.M., Washington, D.C. time," Mr Trump wrote on social media. "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. THERE WILL BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.""
"The Republican president unveiled the plan alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week. Mr Trump's proposal would place Gaza under control of a temporary governing committee led by Mr Trump himself. Former British Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair would be involved as well. Civilians would not be required to evacuate the territory, something that Mr Trump had floated before. Hamas would be required to disarm and release any remaining hostages. Surviving fighters would be allowed to leave."
""Most of the rest are surrounded and MILITARILY TRAPPED, just waiting for me to give the word, 'GO,' for their lives to be quickly extinguished," Mr Trump wrote. "As for the rest, we know where and who you are, and you will be hunted down, and killed.""
President Trump issued a firm deadline requiring Hamas to accept an agreement by Sunday evening at 6 P.M. Washington time, warning of extreme retaliation if the deal is refused. The plan would place Gaza under a temporary governing committee led by Trump, with former Prime Minister Tony Blair involved. Civilians would not be required to evacuate. Hamas would have to disarm and release remaining hostages while surviving fighters could leave. Hamas said it would study the proposal and was given a few days to respond. Trump emphasized that many fighters are surrounded and threatened military annihilation and targeted killings if resistance continues.
