U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday suggested a Gaza deal could come soon to secure the release of all the hostages held by Hamas, after earlier issuing what he called his "last warning" to the Palestinian militant group.
Speaking to reporters after returning to Washington from New York, Trump said, "We're working on a solution that may be very good," he said. "We're trying to get it ended, get the hostages back."
"I think we're going to have a deal on Gaza very soon," Trump added. He declined to give further details.
Earlier on Sunday, he warned Hamas to accept his terms of an agreement, without giving any specifics.
"The Israelis have accepted my Terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will not be another one!"
Hamas, in turn, confirmed it had received ideas from the U.S. through mediators and was considering ways to develop them.
It reiterated its readiness for negotiations, calling for the release of hostages in exchange for a “clear announcement of an end to the war” and the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
According to Israel’s N12 News, Trump’s proposal would see Hamas release all 48 remaining hostages on the first day of a truce in return for thousands of Palestinian prisoners held in Israel, while both sides negotiate an end to the conflict during the ceasefire.
An Israeli official said the government was “seriously considering” the plan but gave no further details.
