President Donald Trump noted Israel has “temporarily stopped the bombing” to “give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed” in a Truth Social post Saturday.
Trump urged Israel to stop bombing Gaza on Friday as he gave Hamas an ultimatum to accept the terms of a peace deal by Sunday at 6 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The terrorist group tentatively agreed to release the remaining hostages and relinquish power with certain conditions, though Trump urged Hamas Saturday to “move quickly” or “all bets will be off.”
“I appreciate that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed,” Trump wrote. “Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off. I will not tolerate delay, which many think will happen, or any outcome where Gaza poses a threat again. Let’s get this done, FAST. Everyone will be treated fairly!”
Hamas said there could be an agreement to relinquish its power and release the remaining hostages, though it also noted that other terms of the peace deal would need further discussion and to be in accordance with a “unanimous Palestinian stance,” multiple outlets reported Friday.
“If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas,” Trump wrote Friday.
Trump wrote in a separate Truth Social post Friday that “based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE. Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly!”
Hamas still has 48 hostages, with around 20 of them believed to still be alive, according to The Associated Press.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
