Trump Says Gaza Deal May Be Near, Warns Hamas of Last Warning

US President Donald Trump indicated that a deal could soon be reached to secure the release of all hostages held by Hamas, following what he described as his “last warning” to the Palestinian militant group.

Speaking to reporters after returning to Washington from a brief trip to New York, Trump said he had discussed the matter during his flight.
“We’re working on a solution that may be very good,” he said, without providing specifics. “You’ll be hearing about it pretty soon. We’re trying to get it ended, get the hostages back.”

Earlier in the day, Trump issued a stark message to Hamas, urging it to accept his proposed terms.
“The Israelis have accepted my Terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well,” he wrote on Truth Social. “I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will not be another one!”

Hamas later confirmed it had received ideas from the US side through mediators to reach a ceasefire agreement and said it was considering ways to build on them. The group offered no details but reiterated its position that any release of hostages must be tied to “a clear announcement of an end to the war” and a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.

Trump told reporters he believed all the hostages would be returned. “I think we’re going to get them all,” he said, acknowledging that some may already be dead but stressing that their remains should also be returned.

On Saturday, Israel’s N12 News reported that Trump had presented a new ceasefire proposal to Hamas. According to the report, the plan would see Hamas release the remaining 48 hostages on the first day of a truce in exchange for thousands of Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. Negotiations on ending the war would then take place during the ceasefire.

An Israeli official confirmed that Israel was “seriously considering” Trump’s proposal but offered no further details.
